Riddle: When is counting down actually counting up?
We're trying to climb higher.
Three weeks ago we pondered tragic news. Two weeks ago it was uplifting news. Last week, Dr. Howard Kaye gave us a forward-looking challenge.
This week, the news comes in from Everett, the so-called tallest mountain in the world:
Traffic jam. Check out the image - hundreds are queuing up to spend a few moments at the summit.
It must be a tremendous high. Look at these smiles.
I would hope so, considering the average climber spent about $45K getting there. (Lest you think it's anything like a cakewalk, if you have 5 minutes, here's a body-cam video of the final ascent.)
But the air truly is so thin and the risks truly are so great.
I've heard it said that humans are not made to live above 26,000 feet. That sounds reasonable.
(Maybe that's why Some are content pretending they made it to the top?)
But there is a question here for your table:
Although we're not made to live on top of the mountain, are we made to climb?
Shabbat Shalom

Always read the supplement labels to see if there are warnings that would make them inappropriate for you. And, of course if you have any medical conditions or take medications or other supplements it's always a good idea to speak with your doctor before starting anything new. friv Games 2020 || kizi games || abcya4 games
