Rainier Trip Post

While traveling around the mountains, forests, lakes, rivers, and waterfalls with plants and birds shrouded with moss and dirt, I almost felt lost in some dreamland where time hasn’t really been established.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

What stood out to me was how profound all the nature was. While the landscape is constantly changing there is still a fundamental stillness that is so long-lasting compared to human culture. It is upsetting that this place has changed so much due to climate change is such a short period of time.

 

The life here goes at its own pace. There are no guidelines, deadlines, rules or servitude other than the natural processes that so perfectly dictate thestellar growth and decay.

 

The glaciers start the rivers, the rivers carve the rock, the trees live off of soil that has decayed and built up. The whole system here is so complex and simple and so effortlessy right. What has been here for millions of years might quickly change  completely.

    This place is a network of processes and the overarching world that supports it.
