alpinestateofmind > From a small tarn beneath Tenpeak, I woke up early to catch the light off the peaks. This was one I saw peeking between two rock cliffs.
alpinestateofmind > And above, in high places, when I look at the mountains, I watch as one great head among them swivels and looks over at me with a grin. Yet, as the snows sway and the rocks shake loose around me, I know the mountain beneath had turned to send a grin of his own across the valleys and rivers between. Realization is quick upon me. I know then how small we are in a place so big. Even in my 7 days among the trees and glaciers - soul filled to the brim, candle burning from both ends, I have to wonder if these mountains even noticed me?
