A landscape of glacial lakes and looming peaks, this day was part of a two week, unguided trek in the Gokyo Lakes and Everest region. A journey of reverence and a gratefulness for my being among it all. Our days were waking for first light on snow-capped mountains, crossing bridges, prayer flags whipping, over rushing glacial waters, passing trains of yak through dense evergreen forest, and reflecting over ginger tea.

I remember in this moment I had fallen behind my companions. I needed an extra moment of graciousness; for the blue skies that break on the soul in waves, for the mountain's echo and the exhalation of forest, and for the immensity of silence, sonorous and complete.
