montypiton Posted February 21, 2015 Share Posted February 21, 2015 (edited) to see God. -- and, yes, I'm dead serious. I have pursued El Shaddai (one of the earliest Hebrew names for God, translates roughly "God of the high places") since the 'sixties. Early on, I studied a couple years with the Trappists (yup, Catholic) and was directed to develop my climbing as a spiritual practice - that was nearly forty years ago. When people ask why I'm still hard at it after 46 years and more than one near-death event I offer this explanation: imagine how a parent feels when their child takes joy in a special toy that the parent has made especially for that child. My "Daddy" has made the mountains for me, and me for the mountains, and I can only try to imagine the Joy He/She feels when I abandon myself to the joy of playing with that Special Toy. Should I insult my Daddy by deciding that playing with that Special Toy is immature or unproductive? Far more appropriate to simply sit on a bivvy ledge at sunset or sunrise, and simply lose myself in gratitude.
