We reached Sequoia today. Sequoia is known for their huge trees. In here is the largest tree in the world, and we visited him today. To get there you go down a trail. All along it are these huge trees towering over everything. The energy there was calm and quiet. Even all of us together wouldn't be able to wrap our arms around them. When we got to the tree, General Sherman is his name, it was an incredible sight. It was so huge and wide across. It said on the sign that looking up at the tree was like a mouse looking up at a six foot tall man. It's been there for 2,600 years. It is one of the oldest living things on earth and has seen humanity change, evolve and multiply in numbers. To be in front of it was to be in front of something miraculous and uncommon. He saw Prophets Isa (Jesus) and Muhammad pbuh come and go. He was majestic. There was a little barrier in front of the tree, but a barrier has never stopped us before. We had to touch him. It was magical.
We walked along another path and from it we saw a waterfall. We could walk to it and touch the water, so we did. The water was cold but refreshing. We made wudu in the stream, and I (Shezena) was thirsty so I drank from it. It was a remarkable experience.
