A thought for those of us on Parkinson's Mountain.
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
"Mountains should be climbed with as little effort as possible and
without desire. The reality of your own nature should determine the
speed. If you become restless, speed up. If you become winded,
slow down. You climb the mountain in an equilibrium between
restlessness and exhaustion. Then, when you are no longer thinking
ahead, each footstep isn't just a means to an end but a unique
event in itself. This leaf has jagged edges. This rock looks loose.
>From this place the snow is less visible, even though closer. These
are things you should notice anyway. To live only for some future
goal is shallow. It's the sides of the mountain which sustain life, not
the top. Here's where things grow.
But of course, without the top you can't have the sides.
So on we go ... we have a long way ... no hurry ... just one step
after the next..."
Robert M. Pirsig.
