The Sacred Chamber of Ruby Falls.

Deep in the bowels of Lookout Mountain, in Tennessee, hides an ancient cave system named, Ruby Falls caverns. The dank, and musty air within its serpentine passages whisper secrets of eons gone by that remind you that you are a guest in this otherworldly realm. You are at the mercy of nature, sitting deep below a mountain such as this one. The low ceilings require you to humbly bow your head, in respect, for the spirit of the cave. Upon showing this submission, the seeker may enter the inner sanctum of the cave; a vaulted chamber carved out of solid rock by the spirit of the cave--the goddess waterfall.

The roaring of the falls humble you with the overwhelming power of her archaic magic, while the delicate and lacy dance of the water rejuvenates you with her sensual femininity. As I stood at her feet, I raised my arms and head into the spray of her aquatic magic, to honor her energy and be cleansed by it. I left that cave deeply grateful to exist on a planet with natural temples such as the one safe-guarded 1,120 feet below, Lookout mountain.

The Mystical Waterfall.

The mystical magic of the waterfall has long been revered in nature. The dominating size, mesmerizing beauty and roaring growls of it's crashing power below demand some well-earned respect. Water will not be denied it's own way, and will carve up the hardest rock that tries to block it's path. It is understood by those close to nature that water is to be respected or surely peril awaits.

One of the reasons I am transfixed by waterfalls is because is because they are so stunning in appearance and seem, (to this artist) to be something of art in motion, which is interactive. This makes it one of nature's greatest expressions and well-deserving of the awe they inspire. It is easy to fall under their magical charm when gazing upon it with dedication and time because it transports you into a deep meditative world of bliss and peace. A reality when all time seems to slow down and the world outside the sacred bowl of the waterfall seems so distant and almost hidden by the fog of the magic that has overtaken your spirit.Yet Mother Nature has other secrets to conceal from the unworthy--the inner sanctums. These are the otherworldly cave sanctuaries that often lie hidden behind the veil of pounding water. I have always been lured by the secret chambers that lie just beyond the wall of water. They seem like special hide-outs that hermits and outcasts like me are led toward. Ancient man must have seen them as doorways to a spiritual realm unlike any found above Earth. A dream of mine is to find a cave behind a waterfall way off in some far away land--perhaps on Borneo where I can build a little hide-away. Every time I gaze upon a new waterfall I am over-whelmed by its energy and always feel recharged and invigorated after sitting a spell within it's cleansing mist.
