Cambodia in October
We stood atop Phnom Bakheng and watched the setting sun spill orange over a sea of lush green tropical forests. The towers of Angkor Wat rose above the green mesh and glowed.
Standing there, we were at once aware of a power supreme. The power of human will spurred by the craving to leave behind unmatched legacy. The power that chipped, chiseled and breathed life into rocks. A dizzying spectacle of human creation.
Standing there, we were aware of another power. That of nature, waiting and watching from all around. Ready to smother all that we surveyed with her ageless arms.
