avalanche
It was already late in the afternoon when I decided to hike up to Avalanche Lake, and my first time at this location.
I questioned myself whether I had made the right decision when it started to rain and thunder came rolling in, nor did it help seeing everyone else heading the opposite direction.
Yet, I could not and did not want to turn around.
A magnet was pulling me to keep walking, surrounded by ancient western hemlocks and red cedars as tall as 100 feet,
until I reached my destination.
No one was in sight. The whole lake so still, so beautiful, already expecting me, hugged by Bearhat and Little Matterhorn Mountain. Even the setting sun appeared from behind the clouds.
In this moment, at this location, I felt that love can be a sudden arrival in overwhelming quantities, just like an avalanche.
