During a circumnavigation of Delicate Arch Viewpoint (not Delicate Arch), I sought enlightenment in the amphitheater of Winter Camp Wash, within sight of Delicate Arch. Most of the time I pursue Magnificent Understanding by touching a vast expanse of sandstone. The problem here was that although I was surrounded by sandstone walls, all of them were too far away support my spiritual quest. Sandstone bedrock was hidden by deep sand. What to do?

Then I remembered from reading the seeker's bible ("An Explorer's Path to Enlightenment" by the Bhagwan Hotair Windbag of Antelope) that there is more than one path to nirvana. Indeed, there are numerous paths one can follow; if one isn't available, try another. This realization inspired me to attempt "sacred mimicry," a practice often used by those who spend their lives in deep meditation in mountain monasteries.

As I stood atop the bank of Winter Camp Wash, I emptied my mind of all earthly thoughts and began to mimic a landform that many photographers consider to be a holy entity. After 7.1 hours in this difficult but beautiful position I began to see the light. However, the light was so bright that it degraded my short-term memory and I cannot recall anything about it. Then I collapsed from exhaustion. Eventually I managed to stumble back to the parking lot, physically weak but spiritually revitalized.

Joe Tripod, my photographic assistant, respects my spiritual quest by remaining absolutely still at moments such as this. He understands.

Addendum in response to Exim's comment: Notner is described in nauseating detail in this gallery and this other gallery. I disavow any knowledge of Notner and of the meaning of its reverse spelling. Read about Notner at your own risk.
