"High Mountain Musing..."



"The state of being active within life activates the fundamental questions of life...
But when I am up on a mountain, I rarely question what I am doing or why I am there. The climbing, the concentration, the struggle... those are the answers - because those are the basic purposes of life. In effect, I become my own answer." R. Messner
The nature of musing on such questions and answers seems to be a theme we all share as mountaineers...
Messner is one who offers unique perspectives for us to ponder.....
I found myself reflecting on this very quote, as I was enjoying and gazing upon the images of MickRange on Flickr...
