British columbia Quote by Valerie Dunsmore
““After a long while, the giant forest turned into a clearing. Up ahead, a large waterfall rushed into a giant pool. Rippling curls tumbled down the rocks, and the sunlight shone through the spray and made a rainbow in the mist. It was magic to see a rainbow close enough to touch and I reached out my hand. “Isn’t it beautiful?” I said. “Immaculate,” said Mama. “It’s the Valley of the Tears,” I said with a smile. “A place where even the mountains cry”.””
