I agree, and the way you have expressed it in words is nearly as magical as the springs themselves. What beautiful creative writting. There are many ways volunteers can help the hotsprings and I feel this is one of them. I know that many people feel the same way.
There were a couple of college age girls that arrived just before dusk on Saturday. One of them asked why do we humans behave like 'rats in a cage when we are in the city', but become so peacefull and relaxed when we are out at the springs close to nature. Just a though from two more converts that will be back for more.
Thanks Jona for taking the time to share your feelings with us all.
