"How is it (we are here), on this path we walk?
In this world of pointless fear, filled with empty talk.
Descend from the ape, as 'scientist-priests' all think?
Who will save us in the end, we're trembling on the brink."
(The Moody Blues - "Question of Balance" - 1970)
You'll meet this spire (needle) after scrambling on crumby red sandstone
up to the "second saddle" on AZ's Cathedral Rock.
In the late afternoon, the silence will only be broken by the ranting of the
Common Raven, or the whistling of swallows catching their meal.
The sound of silence is calling for you now ...
