Description
Immune to sophisticated utility, the forever-wild, to its obscure tasks, proliferates; and undeterred it flourishes. It heaps upon itself in mounting years, with the tiniest of its morsels, while ignoring all other convenience and convention. And it is relentless in its task.
This sliver-of-a-sliver (arranged to formality) witnesses such engagement from front to back but suggests even more... yet who could take-in all its wealth, or linger patiently for it to arrive; and by chance such necessity finds us in utility's favor, through gadgets of our design.
But what good is all our gadgetry and utility, if mere to entertain some fancy, or rest us plump of convenience? Tickled of fancy, and conveniently proximate, my weary, flat feet still allow some of nature's courses to be examined - off the beaten pedestrian trails hailed in weekender guide maps. And I never weary of the cloister dubbed 'The Clove.'
'Kaaterskill' to most; for myself it is a 'precinct' - again, not in the cosmopolitan sense, but the age-old distinguish. Better I quote a trusted source; in case:
" Precinct - All images to do with the precinct - an enclosure, a walled garden, a city, a square, a castle, a patio - correspond to the idea of the temenos, or a sacred and circumscribed space which is guarded and defended because it constitutes a spiritual entity."
(Cirlot, Dict. of Symbols, 1962,ed.)
If no else, the Kaaterskill - even prior to recorded account - was recognized a place of closest union with the spirits that moves the wind. Call me bonkers, its all the same today; bend a knee, pull up a stone, sit in its midst. . Then, jeer if you must; but more likely, new cause will silent such, in knowing it all to be true.
'A mere stretch of the leg', Mrs. Duffy, would say; and off I'd be; to one slope or another. At all sides, the Kaaterskill waited my visits, as I, her embrace!
