Hiking up the three-mile trail...became my daily habit. I was building a relationship with the mountain as much as with my own body and imagination.
I was expecting the climb to hurt more than it did: 2,000 feet up in just under three miles. But it didn't. I was attuned to the morning, the ravens, the thick-skinned ponderosa trees smelling like vanilla, the dust swirling underfoot.
