Everest dips out of view and we're closer to Ama Dablam now passing by Stupas with Buddha eyes staring back at you knowingly. What, I'm not sure. But they're everywhere.
I believe in our most successful moments, we have absolutely no control. Our bodyand it's connection with our mind, is simply following through on the training we have gone through, strengthening the quick twitch muscle fibers and the mental connection we have with action.
My body was hurting but I took it in stride. Tomorrow will be different most likely and it's hard to feel bad when you're off the grid and there's so much beauty surrounding you on top of the world.
For me ignorance is not bliss. I could never really live that way. For me, going outside my bounds of reality (hey Chicago, I'm looking at you) is necessary to challenge myself physically and mentally. Changing my focus repeatedly, never being bound by set protocol, has not been bad for my success.
I got lost--more than once--but if you really know me, you know I'm a solitary wanderer who revels in losing my way amongst people and finding herself in the process.
