Descent (Peak #4)

by Roland Smith

But thinking something is true does not necessarily mean that it is true.”

I spent a lot of time thinking about the past and imagining the future, completely blocking out the present, which at present was my biggest problem.

I realized that you don’t have to think about the present. You simply let it happen as it’s happening.

When you climb a mountain, there are times, brief moments, when you are totally living in the present, like when you are negotiating a perilous pitch or hanging on to a precarious hold. They don’t last long. You either succeed and move on, or you fail and fall.

“Go out and do good things.”
