Visiting the Sousing Wall 16.07.2017
(by Michael)
We are relatively early on the sunday morning. I decide to first show Christa the old roman stone quarry before actually heading for the Sousing Wall.
Nobody is there, the sun is shining and we just can’t see and hear enough. When we finally continue our way more than 1 hour has passed and we haven’t even noticed it. But we are charged and strengthened now.
The way to the wall is not comfortable, leads over gravel, is partly steep and requires in parts also no fear of heights and a secure step. Many stones along the way show faces – on the pictures taken they are not visible. We walk calmly and concentrated and that way get to our destination without problems.
The wall is huge and caves can be seen halfway up. They somehow look like somebody lives there or has made them – only, how does anybody get there?
(by Christa)
On a stone
opposite a steep wall
from which water runs down
still and calm.
It is morning still – the air is cool,
the first rays of sunshine refract
in the calmly flowing water.
We are not alone here.
This place is guarded by beings,
still, hidden and yet perceptible
they are around us.
It keeps us here for a long time,
a calm force, that we are connected with.
Later – the ascent to the “Sousing Wall” –
through creek beds, across stones and gravel –
do we have some company?
I am calm and concentrated,
I feel protected
and always connected again
with the little beings –
the vitality of nature,
the beauty and sublimity
of the steep wall.
