The Climb

After a beautiful hike in a Eucalyptus forest this afternoon, the radio once again came through with a totally apropos, if totally cheesy, tune:

There's always gonna be another mountain

I'm always gonna wanna make it move

Always gonna be an uphill battle

Sometimes I'm gonna have to lose

Ain't about how fast I get there

Ain't about what's waitin' on the other side

It's the climb

And it isn't just appropriate because I was climbing on a hiking trail. I am, even here on this beautiful island, struggling with being ok with what is here, now. I'm going to try to take Miley's words to heart on this one, that it ain't about what's waitin' on the other side -- it's the climb. From that perspective, I must say, the climb was pretty damn enjoyable...
