Fall Has Fallen

The sun shined through the doors as I left school one afternoon about two weeks ago. I was a bit discouraged when it had immediately become fall. By immediately, I realized that I hasn't been outside in the daylight for the entire week...bad move! I work out in the morning before school so I go in the doors at a time of day that shows off the couple of constellations that can be seen in the early morning sky. That week I had gotten particularly busy in the afternoons and had left school after dark as well. Although I wasn't really happy about the realization, there was only one good way to counter my indoor time - early morning hike! What a blessing my Sunday morning was. I decided to hop on the train and go back to the fist trail that I had hiked after arriving to Seoul. Even though I went on a solo hike, it was really me and my 3,000 closest hiking buddies. If there is one thing that Korea does way better than Colorado, it is enticing people to be active! Hard to believe that the State of 14ers has far fewer hikers than even the population of Seoul. Trying to achieve a peaceful morning hike, I equipped myself with my new multi colored Korean hiking jacket and my ear buds. I put on some acoustic worship music and started up the mountain. A fog had set in over Mt. Dobongsan and it was magical! I could try to describe the beauty, but I guess that whoever realized that pictures can do what words can't was pretty wise, so here are a few thousand words worth of beauty. It did my heart and soul some good to soak in the beauty of Gods art work on Earth.
