Notes on hill walking #5

 

Walking in these hills I am walking back to before

the beginning of time. All that energy is still here

and very present, it’s immediacy is so palpable.

This knoll of knotted swollen land I stand before,

this protuberance of rock torn heather

and black sodden peat,

this hulk of earth vibrates at a frequency

far lower than base,

It cannot be encompassed by the senses,

or photographed,

It is Simply felt.
