Southern California Sacred Site

Taking people to Daley Ranch is a real pleasure for me. The hike down the level meadow is easy, and it's one of the most spiritual. You don't get the spectacular views from the ridge tops, but instead you're wrapped intimately into a little fold of land that has been an energy center for thousands of years. Here you can stand directly on top of a fault line and gaze up at a huge rock shaped like a man. A little further on you can leave the path for a grove of ancient oaks and huge boulders that is silent and dreamlike, where time stops and the shaman in you opens his eyes...at one end there is a stone circle and also a stone "chair" that I swear, wizards must have sat in...

On weekends, there's a free shuttle that takes folks from the Dixon Lake entrance to the ranch house every 30 minutes or so. So most anyone can make it to the Chair of Dreams. My wife who is disabled got that far, and it was wonderful for her.

My problem is my work schedule, I never know which days I will have off except that they are rarely weekend days unless I plan for that, well in advance. Somehow we have to work around that, for now.

I'm not sure why I feel so strongly that discovering this ancient site is relevant to the shift we are going through now. I have some theories. It seems to connect us to something. I don't know what, but it's ancient and living, and not everyone can see it. Jeff, you've been there once, and I hope again...I'm depending on you to tell the folks if you think I'm just a crazy old fart.
