Mt. McKinley. Denali. The Great One. All names for the highest peak in North America. It rises above the tundra and foothills at 20,320 feet. I've been watching for her since first coming to Alaska in 1975, always hoping for a glimpse of the elusive 'Lady', as I think of her. She only shows her full face on rare occasions. But when she's in the mood and the weather clears, seeing her is always like it was the first time. A little gasp, suffusing awe, deep humility. The beauty for me has been too much to apprehend and I used to feel I could not take it all in. It was too vast.
I saw her most recently just a little over a week ago. The same awe and gratitude filled me, but this time when I stood full facing her, arms stretched out wide, something bounced back and forth between us. A recognition and a respect. As I've grown older, I see less and less division between myself and all that is created. I think she's always known it, but I've been slower in coming to it.
She receives what I send her. She sends it back.
We've become friends.
