Through the grace of meditation, we don't end at the mountaintop, we begin at the mountaintop.
On the highest peak, there is a dense pack of pure white snow, resting in absolute stillness. No warmth, movement or vibrancy manifests. But in that dense snow pack, the vitality of the earth is stored as unmanifest silent power.
The vitality of flora, fauna, humanity, and the entire ecosystem of forests, rivers, fields and valleys below, depend on the melting streams that flow from the white silence at the top of the mountain.
When we begin our day with deep meditation, we are like that mountaintop, crowned with diamond Light in utter stillness, immersed in densely packed silence. The life-energy that will nourish and guide our whole day flows down from the inmost peak of pure consciousness.
