The Most Oz-Some Land of All

I Left My Heart In Kerry, Ireland. Top Story - September 2021.
There’s an old Irish adage that goes: “There are only two kingdoms, the Kingdom of God and the Kingdom of Kerry.” The words appear on a shiny plaque in my grandparent’s guest room. Whenever I see it, I am reminded of the rugged cliffs, salt-laden breeze, emerald fields and ancient, oak forests of southwestern Ireland.

Backpacking Trip To Rainbow Bridge
Rainbow Bridge national monument in Utah is undeniably the most outstanding and mystical arch in the entirety of the American southwest. The arch towers are an outstanding 290 feet tall and 270 feet across making it the largest natural bridge in the world. The Navajos considered this arch extremely sacred believing it to be a portal to the spirit world. Rainbow bridge is not an easy arch to see in person. The arch is tucked away in the far reaches of Lake Powell, with the easiest way to get there being a 4-hour boat ride through an expansive twisting and turning canyon system that eventually arrives at the rainbow bridge. In my opinion, a natural formation of such grand and mystical beauty shouldn’t be seen by such an easy means. I find the boat ride an easy route that fails to make you appreciate this overwhelmingly massive structure as if you are not fully submitting yourself to its beauty with a mere 1 hour wait time before the boat launches off and heads back to the marina. There is an alternative route that you can take to get to the bridge and it is one that is exceedingly difficult and requires backpacking and map reading experience. I feel it necessary to tell of my experience on this route, and why I felt it made me feel that the monument was mystical and something to be held sacred.

Two trips to grow up
In 2020, I finished China's college entrance examination, left busy high school life and entered a university. What I don’t know is that, I was accepted to the college in my hometown, which was only 15 minutes' drive from my home. However, I am in a Sino-foreign cooperative education program, and I will go to the United States to study in my sophomore year. Though I was still adjusting to college life in my first semester, 2021 was a big change, as I completed two trips that allowed me to grow.

Home is where we park it
When I was a child, home was a tiny town of only 300 people. I moved once just a few blocks from a little two bedroom cottage to the large five bedroom house my father built with his own hands over the course of many years. The house sat at the end of the block surrounded by fields of alfalfa. I’d run in the newly planted grass, jump over the small new pine trees, and bike down dusty dirt roads to see friends.

Trip to Glasgow
When I came to the UK my plan was to go to Wales. I had read an old Welsh myth in my Arthurian Legend class and wanted to visit the bright green forests that King Arthur had fictitiously walked in. It was beneficial as well that I had so many friends living in Wales at the time. One was a park ranger on one of their national woodlands, one was a nurse fighting the Covid pandemic, and some were hippies that had set up a commune in God-knows-where. And as fun of an adventure it would have been to live amongst the faeries in the forests of Wales, the Lady of the Lake had different plans for me.
