Chiding!
You say you'd like to see me try,
Climbing!
You pick the place and I'll choose the time
And I'll climb
The hill in my own way
just wait a while, for the right day
And as I rise above the treeline and the clouds
I look down hear the sound of the things you said today
Pink Floyd - Fearless
One of my favorite things about climbing is that on the ascent we can sometimes ride out of the clouds. On this day, on the Golden Gardens hill climb, which starts at roughly sea level and rises to only about 350 feet above; it was the right 350' to be treated to the above view. I often describe such moments of beauty as church, for it's clear at such times that the earth is a sacred, living becoming.
