22 km. Rivers crossed. Mountains climbed. Rocks scrambled. Fear met along the way.
There’s something about the mountains that keeps you going. You’re tired, but it keeps you going. You’re mentally done, but it keeps you going. Fear walks with you, sometimes even within you, but it keeps you going.
You don’t want to take another step… but somehow, you do.
What is that “it”?
The mountains? You? Your God? Your Guru?
That’s yet to be discovered by me. All I know is it keeps you going. Mountains humble you. They make you vulnerable.They make you silent.
And somewhere between “I can’t do this” and doing it anyway, they give you one of the most unforgiving reality checks on who you really are.
Maybe that’s why the mountains demand courage not the absence of fear, but the willingness to keep walking with it.
You don’t conquer mountains.
They introduce you to yourself. 🏔️
