We are all sentenced to solitary confinement inside our own skins, for life. -Tennessee Williams
There is something about the mountains that bring me peace. It is the only place on earth I can find true solitude. I’m alone but not. It almost feels religious.
When I’m alone, I dream…..
On top of a volcano in Guatemala.
When there are others, I try to stay back and let them enjoy their own solitude..
A man on top of a tea house in remote Nepal regarding the mountains.
A park warden watching the five hour ascent up the steep mountainside.
An unknown couple pondering at the magical beauty of Iceland.
And in some cases, I must invade quietly on others solitude to find some of my own..
In the French Alps, the only place to get a cell phone signal was literally at the edge of a cliff. I waited my turn.
Phone call with a view. Calling home.
