My daughter and I drove to Yosemite yesterday. The Sierra Mountains are magnificent. Shortly after entering the park, we spotted three deer on the side of the road where they were grazing. I was able to slowly get within 8 or 9 feet of them while they cautiously watched me. I made no threatening movements, which seemed to keep them calm.

Passing El Capitan (the tallest granite cliff in the world) made me feel tiny and at the same time connected to something much bigger than myself. We watched through binoculars at mountain climbers camping on the sheer rock face. Turning south, we could easily see Bridal Veil Falls. The splendor and enormity of the scenery was almost overwhelming. It was nice to share this with my daughter.

Yosemite is one of my favorite places that I’ve been too. It’s been a couple of years since I’ve had the opportunity to visit again. I’m glad to be back. Yosemite therapy is some of the best in the world.

More tomorrow.
