Description
High up on South mountain, as the trail turns from the clove and tight-ropes the escarpment, the remaining boulders rest on blankets of blueberry patches; and fossils of sea-life adorn the sediment. The loose rocks that rest at this height have been there since the last ice age and show weathering of millenniums of winter's frost and have been swept by mountain zephyrs long before there was a concept to describe raw natural beauty or sublime conjecture that a mind tastes in the solitude of such a remote terrain.
And when alone, the depths of ones ontological potency open mind to its other proportions, proportions that tease reality with illusions - for whatever the purpose be, that it can so happen. Are those perceptions false; or do they have dimensional proportion far from the materiality of a mountain top? Are there signs in nature, meant for a specific mind, at a specific time, in the place one perceives them? ...I think so.
Cats have long been a calling card of the Catskills and the Kaaterskill; a promotional gimmick surely. But might there be more to the metaphor; if only to suggest more that might yet be perceived? ...I think it so as well and take every opportunity to relish them! 6sept18 -tdp
