Today I am on a hike called "Cactus to Clouds." To read more about it, click this link: https://hikingguy.com/hiking-trails/best-la-hikes/cactus-to-clouds-hike/
This is one of the most challenging things I'll have ever accomplished. It's considered the 5th most difficult hike in the United States. I am excited and certain I, along with the entire group, is going to make it to the top and back down - fully healthy and with energy to spare.
This blog, as I write it days before, holds in it the intention of a prayer. Here it is!
this is not a picture of the Cactus To Clouds scene. But it represents it enough.
Dear Watcher, Creator, Guider, and Lover of all that exists,
Thank you for blessing me with the opportunity to climb one of your highest mountains. Thank you for guiding me to the people and places that developed the necessary strength, in both body, mind, and spirit, such that I today's hike is but just another day to enjoy and conquer.
As I am on this hike, fill my spirit with grit and might, my body with energy and hydration, my mind with focus as well as ease.
For the others, give them the growth and freedom they yearn for as they climb the mountain in their own way.
I look forward to the many insights and experiences that will certainly reveal things of myself and this journey that are surely meant for me at this time.
Thank you for keeping us all safe, healthy, and in harmony. You are the one who makes all things happen through me.
Thank you,
Gabriel Santos
