life is fucking hard.
its like climbing to the top of an ice covered mountain.
its numerous avalanches trying to wipe you off your feet. . as you go up
they bring you down.
and no matter how far you travel up this avalnche covererd mountain, there is no certainty the ground below you wont give way.
but you continue your journey. alone, cold, afrraid
but as you make you it to the top, you look around, you see the sky, you see the earth and you see the top of the mountain.
you climb, because that is your destiny. your desire. you dream.
you keep going, becuase you dont want to fail.
although the odds are highly agaisnt you, you keep climbing to the top. ice breaking away under your feet threatening to bring you back down.
but as you make your way, throught and fear. and persever through the storms, the snow, the cold, the wind. You make it to the top.
finally you sit down.
you see the sky, you see the earth, the only thing moving is the sun across the heavens.
You sit down, with a 360' view of everything around you, above you and below you. you finally know whats it like.
a bird arrives. he looks driectly into your eyes.
becuase you are alone, he nods.
well done. you made it.
the bird jumps up and flys away.
what now ?
you look down, and see the earth. the place where you came from. the place youre connected to. the place you miss now.
the place you tried so hard to leave
it calls you.
maybe its time to come back. to appreciate everything youve seen now.
everything you know now. and come home.
you imagine your family, your friends. and maybe a job.
you begin your journey back home.
down the mountain.
this time the avelanche brings you to where you need to be, back down on the ground.
you look up at the sky, and you see the mountain and the birds flying high.
and you wave. you stay here now.
complete. content.
and when you see others being their hike. up this mountain, you give them food and water for the long journey.
you give them adice. dont give up.
you say.
And you watch them go.
This life.
This is all there is.
