Vernal Falls are a remarkable part of the nature that is surrounding me, in Yosemite. They flow over the edge to create a fast-flowing, boulder-filled, whitewater torrent with many small rapids and cascades. As I look around, I see all the peaceful animals scurrying about the mountain, living in harmony with this surging beast. Squirrels, chipmunks, birds, raccoons, all living amongst the rocks, water, and trees. I look up at the brilliant blue sky, clear as the eye can see. Everything but the waterfall is as still as can be, liv

ing in perfect serenity and peacefulness. The whole area is continually dampened by spray; the rocks are covered with moss and other water-loving plants. The sun is also shining brilliantly, causing transient mini rainbows to form, and change shape as the spray flows with the occasional light breeze. On all sides, the cliffs ascend for what seems like miles. Many other hikers stop to take in the amazing beauty of the surging water and refreshing mist. We are straining our necks to look to the very top of this flowing mass of water, and all I can think of is how much of a small part we play in nature, compared to the whole world. Everything around me is formed so perfectly, down to every last leaf of the trees, just how God wanted it, that we can never even begin to imagine.
