In the spirit of learning,I pose one more question:

 

Why does it always have to be about anger?

we dont say nice things when we're angry.

 

lets all just be friends...A big climbing clan!

big wall pen pals..

crack compatriots..

bouldering buddies..

soloing soul mates..

climbing partners.

let's all pause for a moment and give thanks.

 

 

I sometimes wonder the same thing...then look around and see how busy everyone seems running around getting"stuff" done. Not realizing that they just missed out on seeing a beautiful cloud form and dissipate, or on really listening to what their loved ones are saying, or seeing an old woman smile. Shame they don't realize that everyday needs to be lived and shared, not just used as a prep for when you have time. Unfortunately that day never comes. wave.gif

excellent!

A real gain might be one that enriches our life..

a unreal one may be a mechanism that we use to judge ourselves..

"If I could send ..."

"when I finally.."

"I can't do.."

 

I am guilty..

We all are trying to evolve at the same time, our speeds are just different. We take turns..

Evolution does not always happen slowly, sometimes it is thrust upon us. other times, it seeps up around us like

fog,we never noitce,until our vision is obscured..

Maybe our reaction to change is what is inportant in the end..

following tonight's logic..

top roping is really the highest form of the sport.

the hardest moves will be done on TR..

the mind, free of the constraints of expectations,reaches

new levels of understanding..

so,

Top roping is the gateway to true understanding..

and true understanding only comes from letting go,

then..

Enlightenment comes from letting go on top rope!

YEP

I have actualy heard this ( or something akin) or read it somewhere before...prolly here

 

bull shit... enlightenment means leaving the rope in the car.

enlightenment my dear young friend is a personal journey... it is best to not judge anothers enlightenment, and keep yer eyes on yer own... otherwise you lose track and fall flat on yer face.

 

learning to face what you fear most is a GOOD thing. If what you fear most is climbing with out rope and pro... then maybe that is what you need to consider. If what you fear most is not impressing someone with your accomplishements, then perhaps it is time to rethink why it is you climb and what is most important to you.

 

GO CLIMB! HAVE FUN!cool.gif ENJOY LIFE! IT IS SO BEAUTIFUL grin.gif

Wow, finally a real crack addict on cc.com! A fine day indeed! fruit.gif

 

Lance, STFU, you're boring. thumbs_down.gifyellowsleep.gif

Come on cracked! We finally get someone who looks at things differently than the rest of us and all you can do is come up with foul language. YOU, may find him boring. But don't presume to speak for the rest of us. Lance may or may not be an avatar, but he is fresh. If an avatar, certainly the product of a clever mind.

Catbird how is this drivel 'looking at things differently"? This should definitely be in Spray. thumbs_down.gif
