Magic on the Mountain

One extra loop. One unexpected turn. And suddenly, my familiar old hiking trail was completely enchanted.

Come walk with me...

I’m beginning to think there may be a little magic happening in these Santa Cruz Mountains.

Yesterday, Ghost and I were finishing our hike. We wanted to take just another quarter mile to reach our two-mile goal, so we took one extra loop.

We came around a corner…

And there was a man standing on top of a huge boulder, waving an enormous bubble wand and sending giant iridescent bubbles floating through the forest.

They drifted between the trees, catching the sunlight and turning blue, purple, pink and gold. For a few minutes, my familiar old hiking trail looked completely enchanted.

And I just happened to be there to see it.

There is magic in these mountains. Maybe it has been here all along, and I’m just now slowing down enough to notice it.

Come walk with me.

You never know what’s going to be around the next corner.
