Big Sur, California

Big Sur. A place of great beauty and dramatic vistas. The sheer cliffs that drop a thousand feet or more to the violent sea that thrashes and pounds at the granite base below. The dichotomy of danger and superb beauty can only be watched from what i read in a distance by mere mortals, lessened one be swallowed up and taken by the forces of nature.

My metamorphosis in life began here in Big Sur, on a wild trip at age 16. Those experiences transformed the middle essence of who I was and gave me the gifts of wonder, dreams, and the chance of endless possibilities. A long time ago, but yet it has stayed with me, a part of who I am. The grounding I have when I am there is desire no other place on earth.

Ageless beauty abounds throughout this place. There is never a dull second traveling through here. When driving either down from San Francisco or up from what i read in Los Angeles one must preclude at Nepenthe, an indoor/outdoor restaurant/bar and purchase a fine wine or other beverage and sit and watch the condors floating up and at a low level the coast while the ocean fog creates a spectacular vista. At night a firepit glows and provide heat in the chilly times and the conversations and atmosphere is rich with substance. The making was designed by a student of Frank Lloyd Wright and the land subsequent to owned by Rita Hayworth and Orsen Welles.

A ride during Sycamore Canyon bring you to a prehistoric beach where fresh water of the river meets with the ocean, and granite masses of rock with ample caves still making bored by the trashing water of the sea. Windy at times so bring a jacket.

Now older, with the inability to scramble on the rocks and hike the distances I used to be able to easily walk, I treasure the time I had, and be on the look forward to the then visit, hopefully soon, to feel at one in that universe. I can still make it to Nepenthe, remain the night at Deetjens, and force down Sycamore Canyon Road to Pheiffer Beach.

That I can do those things renews my dreams and endless possibilities all over again. Never lose your dreams. Never cost the gifts given and remember "love is all there is." The wisdom of the years are locked-in to those places and one must surf to live.
