After several weeks of stress, sadness, frustration and depression, I
have experienced once again the healing power of nature. Strangely this
rediscovered calm and positive energy happened right in the
inauspicious Hanging Rock (Victoria, Australia) This volcanic formation,
is well known for Joan Lindasy's novel and Peter Weir's movie "Picnic
at Hanging Rock" ---narrating the mysterious disappearing of three girls
and a teacher.
The captivating beauty of this magical place
inspires to meander in the labyrinthian outcrops. Layer of rocks frame
distant bucolic views of green fields, or just the sky; the countless
rocks seem also to play pick-a-boo with the sun.
It was only a
fifty minutes hike, yet my energy and positive thinking seem to be
finally back ---at least until the beginning of next week.
