On July 5, 2022, I had one of the most special experiences of my life. After a morning group walk, we had an afternoon to ourselves. I decided to hike, and most tempting of all was the Four Mile Trail to Glacier Point, which is inaccessible by road this summer. I told myself I’d attempt it, and see what I could see on the way up. I didn’t think I’d make it to the top, though I secretly hoped I would, if only to see the view from 3000 feet above the valley for the fourth time in my life. To my delight, I managed the trail just fine, and I was thrilled by the views the whole way up, some of which I hadn’t seen in photos. I paused to watch Yosemite Falls in various patches of sunlight, and allowed myself to tear up a little, because it was so beautiful. And make it to the top I did! I’d had a late start and was the last person up that evening, and though I’m not an experienced outdoorswoman and the idea of getting down in the dark made me a little nervous, I knew I’d think it was worthwhile in the end.

I had the immense privilege of experiencing a few minutes alone at Glacier Point. My wildest dream come true. I could hear Nevada Falls. I got to watch the sunlight and shadows play over the granite domes. I praised God. Of course I took some pictures to prove what I’d done, but it really is a difficult spot to photograph effectively. The view is too big. You are seeing far too much to capture in one photo. I’m serious; I own a lovely, vivid photograph of this spot, and it doesn’t approximate the real thing. To understand the grandeur and beauty of the view from Glacier Point, you have to be there. And even after four times there, I know I’ll never get enough of it.
At the end of the day, not only was I happy I got to see all those views, I was proud of myself for completing the trail. I emerged with newfound confidence. All the hikes I’ve been wanting to do in the Hudson Valley have nothing on me now! I can do anything!

you guys oppositeshipping as either platonic or romantic slaps so hard. Kai melts icy outer armor and Zane cools a fiery temper guys the symbolism creates such a good dynamic that can't be attributed to attraction alone
possibly only to be rivaled by the Dareth/Ronin the Two Men Who Lack Long-Term Career Plans And Also They're A Bit The Worst Sometimes ship which is just hilarious and strangely fitting which i'm told is called Scruff?? immaculate
both are calculated, both are impulsive. Kai can plan and strategize in the throes of battle, while Zane's only moves in a pinch are Bullshit and Sacrifice. Zane can be overly curious, but he's on guard for manipulators and moles- Kai wants to believe people who are kind to him and it can blind him to other, more practical ulterior motives
at first glimpse, Zane seems hard to get along with and Kai extroverted, but the former's sincerity is clear while the latter obfuscates with sarcasm. even further down, we see Zane repress his trauma and feelings while Kai has outbursts of rage. they contain contradictions within contradictions of their elements
Kai uses his powers to smith, to create new tools and weapons. we hadn't seen the destruction Zane was capable of until the Never Realm, where permanent winters the world and nearly destroys a civilization (yes he's being manipulated and has the forbidden scroll in his hand I know). Skylor uses Kai's fire to forge a friendship and connect with him. Zane uses his heart and elemental power to destroy (mostly) the overlord.
typically, fire is the element of destruction, but I want you instead think of Kai and summer. gatherings and parties and adventures. warm waters and flourishing crops. everyone may be irritable, sweaty, and some sunburned, but it is built on the freedom to choose.
during winter people are together and inside out of necessity. it pulls people closer out of practicality and proximity. among the sparse bushes and trees, the wind chill and ice, are the adversity through which we persevere through. bonded together through change, through experience.
these connections are both one in the same and inherently different. their beginnings may be opposite, but the ending is often the same.
