Climb Mountains

Climb mountains.

Climb mountains to learn balance. Climb mountains to learn how to carry your own weight. Climb mountains to know the sturdiness of your knees. Climb mountains to learn how to fall. Climb mountains to learn how to get up again.

Climb mountains to learn how to listen to music. Of the wind. Of the birds. Of the insects. Of the forest. Of the quiet.

Climb mountains to put distance between you and the person you love. Climb mountains to reap the dividend that the distance provides.

Climb mountains to find new words. Climb mountains to learn how to make those words say things you want to say.

Climb mountains to see stars twinkling high above. Climb mountains to see little towns below dance to the light. Climb mountains to see the darkness of deep forest. Climb mountains to see the moon paint silver. Climb mountains to see slivers of white pushing through.
