Mount Rainier

Pressure is changing, the ante has been collected.

My breath has connected with something greater than I.

Sitting here amongst the Giants.

An eagle flight from freedom.

Here is a place that only birds rarely come.

We are making the pilgrimage one step at a time.

Not distracted by the external world.

Listening to the essence that radiates from the exposed glaciers.

I take up too much space in this life.

For we have much to accomplish before the seasons change.

On this journey the energy depleting choices in my life seem like a joke.

There is no real essence to assist my progress.

I am on the edge of the world.

Please open spirit. I am calling.

Wherever I am.

No need for strife, the only end is death.

No rushing the next beginning.

Life, full of love, for all.
