For Wilderness Sake

“As I traverse, outlines of chalets come and go, thinning as I continue. For a moment, my mind is empty. The only focus the task at hand. The environment blends into me and I become part of the mountain. Integrating seamlessly into the chill of dawn.

For that moment, I’m in union with the environment. In tune with the expression of natures sanctity and brimming with awareness of the interconnectedness of all life on earth.

The sun peaks over the ridge to my right, piercing the teeth of the Dents du Midi with rays of orange light. The sky has already gone through its morning cycle of technicolour dream-coat dusty blues, purples and hazy pinks. A feeling of joy bursts deep in my chest at the simple nature of being witness to our changing landscape.

In my experience, exploring and viewing our planet like this, without judgement, creates an enriching cocktail of sensations: harmony, balance, timelessness and stability. The earnest continuum of life between us and the planet, always moving together.”
