In my quest for a spiritual Everest, I find the slopes are often steep and the climb sometimes makes me weep and flail helplessly, but never hopelessly. For as long as I keep my eyes on the highest peak I shall not fall weak and defeated to the bottom of the mountain. My personal quest to seek the spirit of Everest will not let me rest upon the dangerous cliffs of despair, but rather forces me to look higher to seek the purest air. |

"...and Alexander, having conquered all the world, wept for there were no more worlds to conquer." The journey is the prize especially when the eyes seek mountaintops the human soul can never reach. Safe passage, keep climbing. Thanks for waving as you pass. |

and to me? This is what it's all about. And each climb feels like "Everest". The climb makes you appreciate the valleys too, though. (gotta admire the designer then, huh?) *winksandhugs* you! |

icebox, as I pass? LOL, I'm desperately climbing these days with my fingertips dug in as deep as they'll go, wondering how long I can keep this upward momentum! sister serenity, yes, I actually enjoy the valley as well, as it makes the climb more meaningful |

Midnite ... I THINK I am understanding ... is the "peak" a diety ? ... There is no normal life Wyatt, just life ... so live! |

thanking you Martie, for always helping me climb  hello, stranger! I seek peace and calmness, tranquility. I guess that could also mean questing the grace of a deity? |

 (sigh) And that is just what Elijah the prophet felt when trying to hear what God had to say, he climed the mountain and the whole time didn't know why but he followed His word and in the end, he was glad he did and found his awakening! (big hugggsssssss) God Bless You, sweet friend, baby steps is all it takes to master the pinnacle, God Bless You, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Kacy, thank you for sharing!  May love and light always shine upon you! Love, Noah Eaton Underneath your clothes, there's an endless story |
