Kenneth Tappan- Mt. Fuji and Sacred Journeys

In one class we had a guest speaker who spoke about his journey to Mt. Fuji. His experience was very unique and it taught me alot about how humans go on spiritual journeys to be connected to nature. He described how Japanese culture and the Mountain were very much part of each other. He also described how there was a rush to see the sunrise on top of the mountian. This was very interesting to me. As humans we are attracted to the most simple things in nature. We are amazed of how beautiful something can be, even if it is something as simple as a sunrise. Sunrises and sunsets are daily occurances but when we take the time to take notice they are truly special times. It is almost like a page in your own personal book being written or being finished at each moment. We live our lives based on these events and spiritual they provide great proof of a higher power.
