Memory Hill

Just back from a twenty day spiritual road. And it’s already march. Six months further in my new Australian life.A twenty days trip trying to reach the top of the hill. 

We are almost there , the top is at our reach. But also my physical state was at his top. I cursed myself building the track further and further away. Every day i had to walk up the hill and down the hill, but every day we made the track longer and longer. A 16 minutes walk up the hill became a struggling of 34 minutes walk torturing my poor muscles. Drilling post holes and building bridge constructions to reach the top . Opening the way for industrial evolution. 

Thousand of years of untouched fauna and flora are waken up by the hammer drill shaken up the foundation of hill. Little lizards, spiders the size of a golf ball don’t know what ’s happening. Soon there will be a car driving up the track, and even maybe in a thousand year future people will gather around the holy place like they do at Rio. Little markets selling the cross in a miniature version. Hundreds of people doing the march to the cross as penance. The first house will be build and permanent residents are settling there. Or, maybe just in time, the track will be overgrown with weed and grass, a lonely statue standing on hill as a time marker , and future archaeologist will try to put a theory together who build that strange structure on the top of the hill in the middle of nowhere, maybe a lost civilisation, or a race out of space.

It has indeed something spiritual , the place. The name already has a spiritual meaning. “Memory hill” . What’s  life then just a memory, a memory in a mind , true or false, created or experienced. How many times a day we think about memories. 

Damned , twenty days bush on a hill is maybe not so a good idea for the mind. Enough of memories, and certainly walking every day up and down the hill. Soon i ‘ll have a industrial vehicle to drive up that hill. There is still a few metres left before there is a track up to the top, but the mountain is almost conquered and then the real work will start. Building a 20 metres cross and 3 metres wide. 

Can’t wait to get started and to see what spiritual lights are gonna shine on me.
