I once again believed in miracles and in the impossible things that human beings can accomplish in their daily lives. The mountain peaks seemed to say to me that they were there only as a challenge to humans–and that humans exist only to accept the honor of that challenge.

It’s challenge city around here these days.  If it isn’t one thing, it’s the next.  You know what, though?  I feel calm and cool as a cucumber.  That’s right.  I feel like everything is unfolding just as it should.  Kind of makes me want to sit back, grab a martini, and enjoy the ride.
