Have you ever arrived in a new place to discover it feels as if you've been there before?
Recently I visited Enchanted Rock State Natural Area in Fredericksburg, Texas. Local lore abounds and many of the stories involve wandering spirits. The constant heating and cooling of the rock produces mysterious creaks and groans. While hiking, I focused on my footsteps, listening for those haunting sounds. Soon my feet fell into a familiar rhythm, and I began to wonder why this place felt so familiar?
