Chasing waterfalls has entered the lexicon of travel sites and bloggers. It suggests people actually hunt for them as items to collect. But what is a waterfall? I see them as true spiritual manifestations of our reality. There’s something special about watching a waterfall, no matter how small. Splendor draws you in; it’s our planet’s most unique and precious resource, bending to gravity, returning back to Earth. There’s a timelessness in observing them, with how they’ve shaped the surrounding landscape. In the billions of years of Earth’s history, you are witnessing the way the water flows in this particular iteration of the environment, right now. Maybe chasing waterfalls just means you’re looking for that connection to the Earth, to the Universe. A waterfall offers that connection, a window to the magnificence of the present moment.
