I am just trying to survive in this world - sometimes feeling like a gypsy in the twilight zone...

Sunday, May 18, 2008

We went to Luray caverns… It is just a magical and majestic place…There once was an ocean here many, many years ago and when the water drained away, Nature decided that it will leave something beautiful for us to see and remind us – this world is so precious… So, it built these amazing caves. As precipitation of different minerals started to collect, they formed rings at the ceiling of the cavern and slowly, slowly stalactites formed…They are like arrows pointing to the center of our beautiful Earth reminding us – this is our beginning and our end. As water drips down from the ceiling, it rises to meet a stalagmite that's been growing up from the floor trying to break out of the caverns to the endless sky. So, go and see this silent kingdom of stone: almost translucent drapes hanging from the ceiling; dry fish in the fish market; even sunny-side up eggs if you are hungry. And if you want food for your soul – listen to the Organ that was built in to one of the caves… You get absolutely mesmerized by the beauty of the underground lake surrounded by almost mystical statues, by the magnificence of Mother Nature and by the near silence with the sound only of drops of water hard at work…
