The climb was long and difficult, but I finally found the peak. Now I stand on the edge of the precipice looking out into the horizon. I am not sure how long I will stand here in silence and watch the snow drift by me? My only company is a few lonesome pines and a snow owl that seems disinterested in me. It took so long to get here but now something tells me to move on. Part of me does not want to travel anymore but I know I must continue. In the distance I see another peak and I know the journey will be long, but with each mountain that I climb I am getting closer to understanding the answers that I have sought for so long.
