Nature’s
beauty is so vast to behold yet only few ones were given the chance to witness
its beauty. Being one of the lucky ones, I cannot contain the richness of my
experience so I have to share it with you.
I once imagined myself bathing on a
sauna luxuriating together with the elite of the society and rejuvenating
myself in the artificial warm vapor. But as I did, reality set in. My fantasy
is still far from where I am now.
Good news from a friend came to me
that a natural sauna lies in nature. That was when I embarked on a journey
early in the morning, expecting to arrive at the foot of the Philippine’s
highest peak, the Mt. Apo, before noon.
Traveling with just motorcycle with
the hours running fast, I watched the rolling verdant mountains on our way to
Digos City. Anxiety filled my heart because it was almost noontime when we
passed Bansalan and I asked myself, “Where could that sauna be? Is it still
far?”
