Mountain Climbing

"for every mountain, you've brought me over;

for every trial, you've seen me through;

for every blessing, Hallelujah;

for this I give you praise."

Perfect radiation arising in simple experiences

is usually when people praise.

When goodness is radiating through their hemisphere,

when perfection is rising up through every experience,

the praise is there.

But, what happens when we are down?

What happens when we hit a mudslide and roll down the hill?

What happens when we trip over a rock and tumble down the mountain?

What happens when we experience life?

WE LIVE, LOVE and LAUGH.

We live: meaningfully, joyfully and truthfully.

We love: selflessly, kindly, and infinitely.

We laugh: whole-heartedly, robustly, and truly.

In life, if things were perfect we would be in heaven on earth.

But, if we never went through hell, we wouldnt truly be thankful for the heaven that we reach.

It's like we are not spoiled.

We are not spoiled because we do not get everything we want (perfect lives).

But, we are blessed, because we are able to walk down paths not knowing where they will take us.

We are blessed because we get to travel without roadmaps.

Sure, we hit some traffic, construction... even accidents.

But, we are even more blessed because God slowed us down by the accident,

we werent in the accident.

We are blessed because God slowed us down with the traffic, but didn't close the route.

We are blessed because we are able to see the new construction people are doing.

Long story short, we are climbing a mountain ...

Its like life is our stairway to heaven.

With every step we take,

with every spiral we have,

with every missing brick,

whatever the issues are in the staircase -

we make it through.

Keep on living, because when you begin to exist you have plateaued.

There is no need to plateau in your awesomeness,

keep growing and making it the best mountain climb imaginable.

ahava,
