The Spirit of Yosemite

One of the best things about living in Yosemite, is the miles and miles of trails. I love to hike. Since I've been in Yosemite I have always hiked by myself. It clears my mind and helps me understand and get in touch with my thoughts, goals, and dreams. On a hike back in Sept 2010, I took The Loop Trail its about 13.5 miles around the valley floor. It was during this hike, I found myself literally in the middle of 9 Mule Deer grazing along the side of the trail. As I looked around, I found I was the only one on the trail. No one else to share this experience with. As I walked with caution not to disturb there breakfast, I looked back at them, they continued to go about there meal. like I wasn't even there. As I contnued on my walk, the beauty of Yosemite was all around me. I was inspired. At this moment I felt the Spirit of Yosemite all around me. Then saddness enter my soul, I wish I had that someone special to share it with. I took a walk today I felt something within me it was on this old trail I found the spirit of yosemite The falls were fallen the rivers flowing trapped in a dream of beauty I closed my eyes, it was you I was holding We walked along a vast meadows as our inner desires began to roam then kissing your soft lips at the base of half dome Sharing a blanket under a tree then long walks hand and hand I know the heart was meant for us the heart of El Capitain I took a walk today i felt something strong with in me It was my love for you I found in the Spirit of Yosemite.
