It was a spot I spent many hours in during my youth. It offered me a chance to ponder the beauty of the natural world and a place of comfort against my biggest fears. It was a place that at first provided me with excitement about star gazing, cloud watching, digging in the dirt, and all the other things that easily entertain us in our youth. As I grew older, these activities at this spot became less common, but the pleasant memories allowed me to forget my fears.
