No humurous quotes,
No hot YouTube videos.
This is about the New Year and the Year that is passing. On the same line as Jensen on this, that this is a time when thoughts surface and questions form, when reflection probes and uncertainty scares. Consciously or otherwise. How has the Year been for you? Or from a wider perspective, how has the Year changed your life? How have you changed? The list seems endless.
Something more relevant to the blog, a question that Zhengxin once asked, why do we climb? For the juniors, maybe it's a little early to ponder but i feel that somewhere down the line, it's inevitable that it will appear. Why do we devote so much time and energy into this activity? The passion? The nature? Or simply because there isn't anything else to do? A simple question but one that can mould one's drive to climb or make one feel that it's probably time to call it quits.
Why do i climb. One picture sums it up. One of my fav.
In words. It's about the Moment - that Moment when time feels like it's standing still, when nothing else seems to matter - that Moment of beauty, of nature and of climbing - that Moment shared with friends
Just a little poignant moment =]
(watch the movie "The Beach"; might give an idea if you have no idea what i'm talking about here) Happy New Year and a wonderful 2007 ahead!
