Infinite Way to Climb
Posted on October 19, 2002 in notes to self.
A mountain can be climbed in infinite ways.Seeing so many people from so many places can be quite an opening experience, if you are willing. Some talk with words, others with silence. A Norwegian fellow goes to school on skis, a Palestinian stays at home because of violence. A professor from Ghana talks about the hospitality in their culture, a college student from Yugoslavia laments at the constant noise of bomb blasts from her neighbors. A Latvian girl shows off the cardboard chair of her country, a German singer says that she isn't capable of understanding big things but wants to do small acts of love. To me, it's clear -- everyone is climbing the mountain of happiness. Destination peace.
