Mountain
I spent my entire life looking up at this mountain.
Yearning to reach the summit.
Now that I'm here,
I look down with fondness
At the places I have come from
And long to relive the journey.

Thank you Jason, Kate, Don.
I'm thinking about dogs, and how they run eagerly up and down a mountain path, then up and down again, with none of that sense that every step is an achievement and every step counts. I wish I could also let go of the notion that climbing mountains is hard work and inevitably a struggle - the notion that it's all about arriving at the top.
They say the art of poetry is saying much in as few words as possible. Like here.
As you have also hinted, the journey is more important and rewarding. Not the arrival point.

I echo Jason. Wonderful Hazel. I can relate, though feel I'm struggling up the mountain sometimes.
The perfect example of how to say a lot, without saying too much.
Really like this Hazel.
