The highlight of my Annapurna Base Camp trek, nine days of exertion and awe, was this morning. Waking up at 4am to ascend the final hours between Machhapuchchhre and Annapurna base camps. So early in the season and after being separated from my hiking companions the day before I was alone. But not lonely. It was a quiet morning of reflection, catching my breath in the headlamp, before the sun broke from behind the mountains. And as the horizon transitioned from muted pinks and purples to brilliant blue, the energy of new day, the snow-capped peaks ahead felt like electricity. I danced up the mountain, my elation expressed in hurried step and shallow yawns. The Himalayas surrounded and I was filled with an immensity of oneness. Breathing in that wild air deep, feet on cool earth, my back to a rising sun.
