magnificence, majesty, mountaintops

as if the strenuous climb up the snowy peak wasn't enough,

this view took away my breath,

all over again

 

we could've stayed up there all day,

soaking in this magnificence

 

it's a strange feeling -

of being small and in awe of the majesty of the mountain, yet

of being powerful and free - you can do anything!

 

this was my first summit in a while,

and my first backpacking trip ever - and certainly not my last
