Joy is a great teacher, but so is dispair. Wonder is a great teacher, but so is confusion. Hope is a great teacher, but so is disillusionment. And life is a great teacher, but so is death. To deny yourself any of those in any aspect is not experiencing life totally.

During the day it was just a normal greyish rock just off of our Horseshoe Lake campsite. But one night as the setting's sun's rays caught it, it transformed into this beautiful and interesting specimen.
