Climb
To climb is to set aside fear and push past it
to trust the earth beneath us to support us as we go
to follow the trails past steep cliffs until they vanish from sight

To climb is to step outside our comfort zone into an unknown world
to keep going until all our stones are rolling away
it is a constant dilemma between moving forward and turning around

Climb until surrounded by the love of friends and family
Climb until free to embrace the warmth of the golden sun
Climb until all our stones have rolled away from us and only our passions remain

To climb is to trust an unknown world with all that you are and embrace all that comes
