"To an observer . . . in the midst of such scenery getting glimpses of the thoughts of God, the day seems endless, the sun stands still. Much faithless fuss is made over the passage in the Bible telling of the standing still of the sun for Joshua. Here you may learn that the miracle occurs for every devout mountaineer . . . One day is a thousand years, a thousand years as one day, and while yet in the flesh you enjoy immortality."
The Contemplative John Muir
