I'm gearing up for a mountain climb, hoping to find something up there, something life-changing, or inspiring; something to give me fresh hope, and meaning; something to banish the dark cloud of despondence. Will I?
If my wild side overtakes me, then I just might choose to remain up there, forever, above the clouds, majestic and serene; detached from the chaotic, filthy lowlands.
When I was 5, Heaven was a lot easier to understand. It was simply up there, following me wherever I went. It was so close and natural. I was naive. Five decades later, it has become abstract and, at times, questionable. I now equate earthly happiness with it, the happiness which is becoming rarer in my life.
The mountain may yet reveal something to me. It calls.
