Mount Analogue

I came across this pacific island on a fifteen hundred mile sail up the coast of Mexico. It reminded me of, "Mount Analogue" the unfinished story of the visionary French author, René Daumal about a spiritually significant voyage on the yacht, "Impossible" to an unknown island.

Its characters are a group of seekers who slowly begin to understand the hidden meaning of their journey.

Invisibly guided by the island's inhabitants, the voyagers ascend the awesome symbolic mountain representing the way that unites Earth with Heaven, a way of truth that "cannot not exist."

Classic foto only found in dreams. It's a daydream one has--the search for something beautiful that can only be experienced once and then passes--and without attachment, we can only hope for the next one--whenever--or wherever that may be...
