Great Wall


Not the best of weather for today. Damp, cool foggy. I guess it is better to look at it as surreal,,, and really that is how this trip has felt. Did I ever think that I would visit China? Could I have ever believed I would stand on the majestic Wall? Did God cloak it's full beauty so I wouldn't weep?

The Chinese have a saying "You are not a hero until you have climbed the Great Wall". I didn't feel heroic at all. I was insignificant...and that felt great.

Beautiful. Now I can never go to the great wall cause I wouldn't be able to put into words, the emotion and moment like you. Nobody likes you!
