Give the wind my regards,
If you will?
I’m late….
My stolen youth, at times
Was released to coincidence
Or…for a better meaning
Enigmatic images…things that
Were supposed to be…
But never gave consideration to
Selling my book…
The translated copy isn’t ready
Last four years were rock hard
Footings, in a place
Where the earth shook
And…
I wanted to climb mountains
With methods barely used
Without harness, stoppers or rope
There were no manuals
Except knowing how to be faithful to sounds
Unheard
Guesswork can be failures
Which holds interest close…
And a most definite source
Of seven summits
Determined to share enjoyment
Offering unsurpassed training
Understanding restrictions and dreams
Is an understatement, when
Developing physical and mental strength
Meeting that power in-betwween
Expanding thoughts where ever possible
Reading philosophy behind glaciers
Why? You ask?
Why Not!
Coaching skills are a gas!
Eliminating major expense
Providing highest quality tents
Nothing is pre-planned
Everything is surprise!
Discovering the best
Off the beaten paths of life
Mountain Climbing
If nothing else, should surpress my fear of heights

Ya know Lee, I was going to try to pick just one favorite verse and realized I could not.
This was wonderful writing!  Oh, I wanted to let you know I've been having problems with my isp at home but I did get your email and will reply as soon as my email co-operates with me!  Hugs for that!

The greatest beauty on earth, is
found in the hearts of those
who love....

Your ponderings are beautiful and make the readers want to climb those mountains too .... there is great power in your words.
Life and achievements always involve "exercising" and "finding creative solutions to all problems".

I pass by a mountain climbing store, its actually sells items for open air activities
but I see climbing harnesses in the window and wonder if I should ever try. My last climb was a redo of one I did at day camp many moons ago up the 500 feet of Mount Royal 42yrs ago...and the trail is still as it was...
