Mountain Meditation

There is something truly exhilarating about that moment when you hit the summit of a peak and can pause to take in your surroundings, especially if there is a wide expansive view to reward your eyes. This is my favorite moment, that moment when my blood rushes back to my brain, no longer needed to transport as much oxygen to my legs, and my brain runs to meet the oxygen like two young lovers reunited after a forced isolation, passionately embracing one another and forgetting all that surrounds them.
