Mountains and trees defined levels for us. Measurements have to start from where we are, and go up or down.
What is the concept of height for a Mount Everest champion? They look below and celebrate. But do they nurse any ambition of touching the Moon?
We look below us and name the seasons – depending on being approached by trees and flowers or deserted. Taking a hike is conquest, and we love the feeling.
what is spring
but nature taking
sudden spikes
I think you have caught one aspect of hiking (at least for some)… every step is one step closer to the conquest…
