The hedges break like covers pulled back and both I and the valley are simultaneously exposed. I gasp and the Valley seems to hold its breath for an instant. Branches, leaves, birds, and fresh ears all incline towards me.
I feel a gaze fall on me knowing and steadfast. I would not have found this place if it did not want to be found. Yet watchful eyes make for good manners.
Vast hedges stretch up, like green giants flanking the path, and the sky seems far away.
Catching glimpses of the groundw through the reaching leaves, I spy miniature ferns and moss lining small stone paths patterned with tiny wet foot prints.
I'm not the only one walking in the valley today. A bridge draws near and I am almost in the valley.
I happened upon this sign in a quiet pocket of a lakeside Seattle neighborhood.
Hey this mastodon experiment is working pretty well

I once met a being looking much like this a
who danced a sacred ceremony.
Who does it remind you of?

"When wearing a mask, the Pascola undergoes a transformation into an animal spirit, connecting people to the Wilderness World, to their ancestors, to spirits, to energy.
