Many come to the mountains traying to reach the impossible. They traverse the path at a fast pace, without stopping, without taking their gaze off the trail, only focused on reaching the summit, as if conquering the rock were possible. They believe they have the wild spirit of the mountain within themselves, but the mountain cannot be fooled. Perhaps they don’t understand that the true conquest happens within, and that walking those trails alone, with oneself, leads them step by step, through a long inner path, towards a destination higher than the summits themselves.
