two weekends ago three friends and i climbed old rag.
we labored, scrambling over rocks and panting up switchbacks.
i begged for a breather more than once...
but we persevered.
over the rough terrain...
up slippery surfaces worn by many feet...
in our 'impractical' gear, as so many commented...
one step at a time we climbed.
we reached the summit;
the view was breath-taking.
each day i persevere toward the ultimate summit.
over the slippery slope of failure,
scrambling on past rocky discouragement,
persevering for the promises.
i can't help but believe the view will be breath-taking.
well worth every step of my climb.
rach, kris, andrea, and i
our view
