Mount Tambora

     Pompeii, a Roman city with a population of about 20,000, was annihilated by Mount Vesuvius on August 26, 79 AD. It wasn’t until 1595, when artifacts from Pompeii were excavated. Centuries of raiding and looting then followed. In the mid-nineteenth century, archaeological excavations began, revealing to the modern world the way the people lived (and died) in 79 A.D. The eruption of Mount Vesuvius was, in fact, the downfall of the ancient city, Pompeii, but people today still wonder

Since their creation, humans have sought to find meaning from the mundane existence of mortality. This quest for answers has motivated many to seek out the divine and sacred spaces forged by the divine. Biblical scholar and historian Mircea Eliade argues that, “man becomes aware of the sacred because it manifests itself [and] to designate the act of manifestations of the sacred [is the] proposed term hierophany” (Eliade 1959: 11). In other words, a hierophany exists when the divine chooses to reveal

Many factors contributed to the bottlenecks between Camp Four and the summit, including: The fact that no Sherpas left ahead of the climbers to fix ropes to aid in climbing above the Balcony, which left the climbers waiting while Beidleman, a guide, fixed the ropes; the Taiwanese team, who were climbing very slowly and all together, making it impossible to pass them, therefore creating delays for the climbers behind them; and the fact that once the ascent had begun, Hall’s Sherpas were not eager

But they do need to be ascertained and developed; unless this is done faith and knowledge may appear

Have you ever climbed out of your comfort zone? How was the experience? These questions floated through my head when I was asked by a few friends to join them on an adventure to hike Mount Minsi, a mountain located on Delaware water gap in Pennsylvania. Although the mountain was tall, the harder obstacle for me to climb was entering nature. It’s not that I was ever afraid or disliked bugs, wild animals, plants, and other aspects of nature, but that I hadn’t experienced that type of environment in
