The journey to the top is always full of mystery, surprises and sometimes danger. I carry a large branch with me at all times so that I can protect myself from any would be attackers, or prod "things" on my way up to the top. Once I reach the top, I feel triumphant. However, this feeling quickly dissipates as I realize that there are still so many mountains left to climb and experience. There are times when I am weary, but knowing that there is always another mountain motivates me to keep climbing.
