All Cosmic in the Highlands

Here's an interesting Blog. The author is authoring an account of a mystical experience in the mists of the Blue Mountains, I think. This is a great piece that conveys a spiritual life in the wilderness. It's abstract, but don't let that scare you. I drop in occasionally to see what more has been added. It seems to be an ongoing project evolving. The Blue Mountains seems to be just the sort of nursery of experience that writing/writers like this needs.

Homely Times

A great time it has been in the mountains to savour the rains and the mists. Veils of dew glisten over the surrounds and it is some sort of heaven to be here right now !

Nestled in the hills

Nestled in the hills and crags of the Blue Mountains is a unique community of talent. The willingness of many of the inhabitants and denizens of the area to try alternative things is an inspiration to the rest of the state. The support of these people who wish to wear different clothes, live in different buildings and establish alternate customs should not be discouraged or squandered. The place is full of daytrippers who want to come here to see the spectacular wilderness that we live in and the alternate way we have of living here. To turn this place into an extension of every other nondescript suburb is an act of stupidity. So when a person tells you they want to tear down the old cottage they’ve bought and live in a house they could get in blandtown, ask them why they don’t move there. Just having the question in circulation should be enough to provoke discussion.
