The fabled range
Faded in the distant haze
Peaks too far to reach today

The journey here
Intends to scale
The mountains of
My inner life
In these foothills, at Rishikesh
From Kunjapuri Devi Temple
Rishikesh
Uttarakhand, India
Taken during travels, 2017
From a temple atop a 1645m ‘foothill’ (5400 feet), arguably the best known mountain range on earth. Lingering off in the distance. It took a 200mm lens to bring them this close.
They call to me, the Himalaya, but an inner voice reminds me, “They’re not what you’re here for.”
Some moments later, we get down to that as our Yogi steps us through a morning session while the sun continues to ascend into the day. I connect to that deeper self, down in forgotten valleys. The kundalini flows, again, raises me up. A peak I can reach today, right now.
