Some sort of tone to be held in the hand, cherished, understood and many. So many aspects and dimensions described, and indeed, photographed!<br />As ever, thanks for sharing, Robb, and bear in mind that your thoughts and whisperings carry deep and far. <br />ghreeblestaffhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06072148726508683576noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2699436745323436303.post-26081414127237087472018-06-12T19:57:43.606+12:002018-06-12T19:57:43.606+12:00Kia Ora Marja,

My spirit was impacted by the irresponsible selfishness of someone burning the benches at Top Maropea hut. A place I, and others, revere treated so callously. A very undignified end for benches there over 60 years that have supported a lot of tired bums. The photo of my 25th visit was from 10 years ago. I have probably doubled that now. Hope you are well and enjoying being back in your other homeland.<br />Aroha,<br />RobbRuahineshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09398484733805119294noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2699436745323436303.post-88581809482951557292018-06-12T15:38:59.500+12:002018-06-12T15:38:59.500+12:00That looks indeed like a cold trip.

I wonder why your spirit was a bit broken while the mountains are so uplifting for you, or did you just come to the mountains to regain a spiritual uplift?<br />Anyway well done you, for having reached the hut 25 times. That's an achievementMarjahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17458942200244031009noreply@blogger.com
