- Very cool!
I'd like to visit again. Would you please speculate as to why this one town has got so much spiritual activity going on? I mean--Wow! Why is it so hard to find all this in other towns & in this one place, it's over-flowing? Did a major spiritual center start there? Is it just the natural beauty or some ley lines?
Just curious! :O)
Sunshine & Blessings,
Giovani

- There are several theories actually, ley lines are one, the heavy concentration of white quartz underground is another, I've heard Shining Rock is said to be the spiritual birthplace of the Cherokee.
