In amongst the mountains, I am just part of the great expanse where consciousness meets phenomena in an experience of wonder and awe.

Transcending language, deep stillness and silence hold their mirror to our unessential ego, teaching us profound truth about our very being.

The fierce truth of the mountain a constant reminder of life’s fragility; its humbling silence heals the soul. The freshness of the mountain’s rarefied air quells the fire that rages within the lungs and encourages us to gracefully respect the mountains sacred presence.

Mountain, in whose presence I stand, to stand in your reverence is to be in silent stillness itself.
