The vacation began in the redwoods. And every day began with a private Mass in the Extraordinary form. The Redwoods were amazing, like walking through a very quiet cathedral, no sound but a few birds and the gentle breeze. Walking alone through the ancient forest was very peaceful and centering.

It brought me back to 12 years of age in the Amazon jungle. I remember going into the forest and had the awesome realization of the majesty of God mirrored on the majestic trees. The Brazilian nut tree is so tall and wide. My father did not like me going into the forest because people hunting could mistake me for pray and to be under the Brazilian nut tree brings other danger of the forest, if it is harvest season, as the coconut falling on our head is sure death. Just memory of happy times.
