El Pedimento was in a cloud. As I walked through the shrine and out the other side I was stunned to see offerings everywhere, tumbling down the side of the mountain and high in the trees. Figures made out of clay, handwritten messages, crosses, banners, photographs and flowers. The mountain felt like the skirt of Mother Earth, decorated with a lace made by hand by the people who loved her.
Looking at the photos now, I can see that it might seem creepy, but it was actually very peaceful and mysterious. I looked for the perfect spot to make an offering of my own.
