Trekking across the snow
allows my hidden fears
to show up.
It is a lonely business,
step after step.
Snow, wind, fog and the height:
just dependently originated conditions.
Who is this one who goes up to the summit,
just to come back soon afterwards?
Maybe these risky steps are the necessary
conditions to uncover the profound hidden fears
of an empty spiritual self.
The mountain,
my dangerous
mother.
