The Spiral, At Last



One item from my long and ambitious creative list can finally be crossed out.
Robert Smithson's The Spiral Jetty, 1970
Great Salt Lake, Utah


My travel companion and I drove a long way, past cows grazing along the roads, past several wrong turns, miles down a dirt road then finally hiking several miles to see the great Spiral Jetty.

For many people the jetty may be a pilgrimage. Slowly walking down the jetty as it jutted straight out then curled inward I was reminded of meditation, turning consciousness inward in order to know thy self.
