Reflections on a stunning view, October 17

Mountains everywhere. So many mountains. How do you do what you do to me, mountains? You deepen my breath and take it away at the same time. You humble me and heighten me. Your massive majesty mystifies me. You, made of stone and yet so spiritual. You, my rock, my foundation, my heaven. I would be so satisfied with the evergreen-covered mountainsides in front of us. And I would be so happy with the rocky mountains behind them. But you don't stop at that. No, beyond those beautiful rocks you give us rocky, snowy, heavenly peaks hiding among the bright white clouds, both jagged and graceful. So graceful. I love you, mountains.
