Pirin was named after the old divinity of thunder and fertility, Perun,
who is covered in dragon scales. I can see why humans worshipped mountains when they wandered over nine mountains with their flocks. Thunder Peak is the original cathedral. When Notre Dame burns,
Thunder Peak is here every morning. . .
The milk, the blood, the rain. All our lives we perform tasks while waiting
for something to click into place. For somewhere to put our love. . .
Now . . . I understand what it’s like to have seen something so true and beautiful, you want everyone to be touched by it. Saved, even.
Bulgarian poet and writer Kapka Kassabova
