One of my greatest desires is to live in the mountains. Seeing the Rocky Mountains everyday is beyond words. I can not capture in words how I feel and what I sense being around mountains. There is a special connection with God. Every morning I can look out my bedroom window and see the peaks. It reminds me of God's presence and I am always thankful. I am able to shake off the bad dreams and start with a positive outlook.
If Israel had Mount Sinai and Mount Zion as holy places, then Pike's Peak would be the holy mountain for me. Another was Mt. Hood, Oregon. I had hiked around or up many peak's. After the Spirit of God renewed me I went on a hiking trip around the mountain in August after my Senior year. I had seen Mt. Hood so many times, but something was different. I saw the real beauty and my perception increased. It was like I saw the splendor for the first time. I can not describe it, but I remember the view was so contrasted to anything I had seen in the past. It was like a reflection of the sacred.
If mountains represent the connection between earth and heaven, then it seems to be so with me. When I go to the mountains, I have a connection with God. It is beyond the beauty. I sense the presence of God. Next week I am going up into the mountains for a men's retreat. It has been over 2 years since I managed to get up "into" the mountains. I definitely want to spend some time alone with God up there.
