Climbing

Breathe. Stretch. Be aware of your surroundings. Breathe again. Utilize your strengths. Never look back, keep reaching forward. These steps helped to calm my fears while climbing my first rock. I have never felt so satisfied in my life. Climbing these rocks has given me a spiritual sensation unlike any other I have ever experienced. It should also go without saying that I was accompanied by some of the most supportive, considerate, and passionate friends to lovingly encourage me through this new exploit. I felt at one with nature. I felt accomplished. I felt fearless. I still feel fearless. I feel that I want to do it again... and again... and again. I have been racking my brain to figure out what exactly it is about this outing that has me beaming with fulfillment and joy, but it has been impossible to discover. It warms my soul to know that there are magical events that happen in your life that you just cannot configure or anticipate. This completely unexpected adventure has spoken to me in words that I cannot construe. My soul has been energized, and all I know is that my life is now a little more complete. I am proud of myself. I am a conquerer. Conquer on!
