Last week, I took a short personal journey that followed a familiar path only recently reclaimed by the mindful stewards of tradition at Camp Mitchell. It leads to an enchanted clearing in the woods, carpeted with lichen and moss, shaded by a canopy of tree leaves and pine needles. And there sits the stone altar. I’ve always felt closest to the gentle freedom of self-determination amongst the natural creation of wood and water, rocks and rivers, sand and sunshine; when my body is enveloped by its environment. These are holy places for me...
