Down the mountain

We don’t tell the stories down the mountain … we only tell the ones going up to glory.

We glamorize the ascent not the descent.

Inflation not deflation. Launch and but the glide down.

But what comes after the pinnacle, summiting?

To the moon. But what about not just the ride back to earth but back home after?

Our search for meaning and the tops and the edges, leaves us also with the walk back.

The team that summited the 14 Highest peaks in the world in 7 months.

We tell the up. Not the after.
