Smokies Light

This bench is on the Flat Creek trail and not far from the graveyard picnic area. It's easy to get to from pavement but nobody comes here very much. If you sit here a while alone, feeling the cool mountain breeze and warm sunshine on your skin, letting your mind become quiet and humble, the Ancient Spirit of the Mountain will come and sit beside you. He never says anything, and although you think you have a million things to say to Him when presented with the opportunity, you know way down deep inside that nothing really needs to be said. A little smile will come to your face, and you both just sit there quietly enjoying the view. It's a fact.
