blue dragon                                          So this is what  a Great Dragon feels like. I was thinking during numerous stops on the way up that dragons are the ultimate intangible beast (>I&G logo), some kind of consensual creation that can only rarely be believed in – thus its specialness. This place is filled with thoughts of that scale, even the candles & incense come in extra large 500 yen sizes. And the upper temples, among which I am sat on a very English bench writing this, are enthroned by some of the biggest most beautiful trees I’ve ever had the pleasure to be in the company of. This is the first place where I’ve been struck with the dangerous thought that if I ever wanted to spend a few months/years/lifetimes on a mountain, it would be hard to find anywhere better. The climb was quite harsh but they have thoughtfully installed a ropeway so that everyone can enjoy the majesty of this Great Dragon. I’m off to breathe fire.
