Prayer for the Mountain, Prayer for the Hike

I want to say Thank You. The way

You made it clear which way to go.

You rose up to support my steps

and gave your vastness to my breath.

Here, I know what it means to know.

I do not have to rest or hide in costume

or worry or hurry. Here, it is okay

for me to forget. I give it all to you,

the mountain, whose loneliness

must be greater than my own.

But you, you who knows the whole sky

as home, let me in without question.
