Lake Tahoe

I am so blessed to be here. I am so used to living in a kind of horizonal world. The great plains spead out. The landscape goes outward in a horizonal direction. The vertical is not too evident except when near the river and there are hills. There are bluffs by the river as well, which certainly intoduces the vertical. But here in Tahoe the trees are maybe 200 or 300 feet high. There are hills and valleys everywhere. It is as if my whole world has been turned on its side and the energy of direction has shifted.
