Though at around 3:30AM, I moved out of the tent and laid under the perfect moon, the air blows steadily, I can hear the melodious sound of water continually crashing on the shores, watching the couples lounging by the beach, some walking hands together… the dawn is whispering the stillness of the moment, my precious moment, thus, “Unless you love someone, nothing else makes any sense” by E.E. Cummings, actually makes sense.

Witnessing the silent, unmovable and splendid work of art and nature, we already knew that our adversity paid off as we finally stood in one of the most beautiful wonder of the world.   We were just standing there, staring deeply in awe.  We submit ourselves to an unexplainable feeling of triumph over what we just had conquered, and so we let ourselves enjoy the perks.

Now imagine this, one cold and crisp afternoon, just before dusk, some streaks of bright orange rays of sunset make its way through branches of trees, you are having wine and beer by the fireplace beside the glass and wooden cabin, which lodged up the hill, hidden behind piles of old and young pine trees, the surroundings is slowly getting covered by early evening fog, the only sounds that you hear are the swish and swoosh of pine leaves and the chirps of unknown creatures, the smell of fresh pine leaves dominating your senses.  You wished that the moment would never end and you find your self wished for forever.
