• We know people by their stories: their history, their habits, their secrets, their triumphs and failures. We know them by what they do. We want to know mountains too, but they’ve got no story. So we do the next best thing. We throw ourselves onto them and make the stories happen.

• Esto es lo que vemos cuando miramos al Rainier, la belleza, el horror, el asombro, lo increíble del tamaño que confirma nuestra propia consecuencia en esta tierra. Miramos a la montaña, como a Dios, y no podemos imaginar nada más grande. Su incompresible duración nos recuerda la fugaz mortalidad de nuestros propios huesos. Se cierne sobre nuestras vidas en los días despejados y permanece presente pero oculta a través de las nubes del invierno. Como Dios, permanece en todas partes para siempre.
