"Experience"

"you start and you set pace

you meet obstacles along the way

sometimes you take a break

sometimes you feel unstoppable

step by step you advance yourself

the path steepens in some parts

at one point you are halfway

you continue and set pace 

the reward is close, the risk is high

you will attain your goals if you proceed

your steps are shortened by the rising terrain

you are curious like a cat

you are where you have put yourself

your steps are stopped by a sound

you are not in control anymore

acceptance of fear

curiosity

adrenaline

movement

downhill

rapid

increasing

heavy

humbling

and then it stops

you see light

you see yourself

you are here or you could not be here

you brush off and continue upwards

you will attain your goals if you proceed

you reflect on the journey

you think about what matters

you think about the tomorrow that might not have been

you think about why you put yourself where you are

Then you realize, you wouldn't be you if you didn't....................."

I was in an avalanche yesterday. 

I wrote this as a reflection.

The more I think about it, it's just like life.

Nothing is easy or safe, if you wish to be successful in what you do.

There will always be "avalanches." You put yourself where you

choose to and you have to deal with the circumstances of that decision. 

The past, present, and future are just decisions......but you make your own

decision. Don't ever think you don't......
