In Native American stories Crater Lake is a place of great reverence. Even with the interaction between the Native Americans and the European explorers and settlers they would not talk about this place. It was an area where they came only rarely and primarily when they were on a Vision Quest. When it was "discovered" by the European Americans the response was also one of great reverence and awe.
I'm not completely sure why it is that I'm drawn to this place besides its beauty. I know that there is something about it that calms my soul and encourages my spirit. Maybe it is the desire to know the possibilities of Joel's words that "And afterward, I will pour out my Spirit on all people.Your sons and daughters will prophesy,your old men will dream dreams,your young men will see visions."
It's not visions that I seek. I realize I'm to old for visions now but dreams are still a desire for me. Dreams not of what was but of what can be. So that is what I'm here for and praying that I will be open to receive what ever it is that God might bring.
