Have you ever noticed how a mountain – the very thing that symbolizes majesty, beauty, grandeur, inspiration, peace, and renewal, is the symbol we reference when speaking of a challenge or obstacle we need to conquer or “get over” in our lives?
The sheer massiveness of this immovable force can both inspire and intimidate, draw and repel, challenge and taunt the humanness in every one us of us.
Truth is, a mountain can no more conquer you than can a cloud, or a raindrop, or pine cone. It is a thing. A part of this world, and therefore, the Universe. A part of you, and of me, and of the hiker a mile up the trail in front of you.
It is the thought of the mountain, or rather, the mountains of thoughts that daily conquer each of us if we let them.
