Quote of the day

In a sense everything that is exists to climb. All evolution is a climbing towards a higher form. Climbing for life as it reaches towards the consciousness, towards the spirit. We have always honored the high places because we sense them to be the homes of gods. In the mountains there is the promise of. . . something unexplainable. A higher place of awareness, a spirit that soars. So we climb. . . and in climbing there is more than a metaphor; there is a means of discovery.
