Uplifting Magic of Mountains
Yoga on top of a hill under a bright full moon, an all night thunder and lightning show, the company of good friends, a wet and windy scramble up the north ridge of Tryfan, climbing in the sun on sparkling quartzite, watching the sun turn into a pink ball across the sea, gazing at the stars, a moonlit scramble up the north ridge of Tryfan and another pink sunset, this one above Cwm Idwal and reflected in the still waters of the llyn… now that’s what I call mountain magic!
I went to Wales feeling the pressure of my finances reaching rock bottom. I came back feeling inspired and interested in what life has to offer. Sometimes, amidst the fear of things going wrong, it’s good to leave the troubles behind and connect with what’s most important. A few weeks earlier I was wondering if I would be able to continue with Mountain Magic at all. After some help from friends and family, I was feeling more hopeful but still a bit weighed down. Last week in the mountains lifted me right back up.
Thanks to Rachel, Rafe, James and Mike for your great company and the shared adventures! Here’s one of Mike’s pictures from our spur of the moment, moonlit scramble up Tryfan:
