SEMINARY HILL
There was...I know what you mean man.<br /><br />SEMINARY HILL<br />There was a hill top<br />where I used to see,<br />all of my life's possibilities in front of me.<br />Four decades later,<br />I returned to see<br />that none of it, would ever be.<br /><br />The Delaware River meanders gracefully down to the sea by journeying through the magnificently forested hills of The Catskills Mountains first. A lonesome train track follows it's meanderings, also heading south to the sea. I was 14 years old when I first climbed Seminary Hill and saw this splendid sight.<br /><br />There was a 30-foot statue of Jesus Christ on a cross high up on Seminary Hill. The image was ghostly against blackening skies, even more so during lightning storms. The Castle-like Seminary was spread out over the level acreage at the bottom of The Hill. Below the Seminary, lies the Town Of Callicoon and The Delaware River. <br /><br />I went way out of my way on a sunny day, about 6 or 7 years ago, to return to Seminary Hill, but I never anticipated the subsequent flood of emotions that resulted from looking down that river valley... and all of those years... again.<br /><br />Quite accidentally, not long after my return to Seminary Hill, a former seminarian from my class was put in touch with me, and even though we were once very close friends, I couldn't place him when we met again. He had none of the looks, characteristics, or mannerisms of the person that I once knew. He was kind enough to bring me up to date regarding fellow mates and such, but as he talked, I looked into his unfamiliar eyes and felt like I was back up on Seminary Hill, again... searching for the guy that I once knew.The Spiritual Hobohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06187725786199179735noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1307106718715652588.post-66422759486861642952011-02-13T17:53:40.190-06:002011-02-13T17:53:40.190-06:00Yes, It looks like it could come in handy:)Yes, It looks like it could come in handy:)Scott Kronabetterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16881647309024451213noreply@blogger.com
