What’s the goal of climbing a mountain?

The goal of climbing a mountain is obvious.

To get to the top.

To get to the top?

Actually, no, it’s to get back to the bottom.

Life holds goals and promises along every step. 

The top, the bottom, the journey. 

The path, the flowers, the sun. 

The goal is never one thing. 

The goal is all of it.

In how you live and how you move.

In what you see and who you meet along the way. 

The goal of climbing a mountain is obvious.

To enjoy it.
