goshen: God's country

i love the city, truly. but being in the mountains, surrounded by Creation and all its sounds and smells... it's where i feel closest to God and where my Spirit is most renewed. goshen is my absolute favorite place in the world. i drove down from baltimore, stopped outside of lex for a chili cheese dog, put the top down on the car and drove through the mountains until i found my favorite spot. a great big rock in the middle of the maury river cutting through the mountain pass. the river was pretty high (and cold) so the water swirled all around me as i sat and thought and rested. ideal way to start a long weekend!
