too even and easy and dull over long distances across the plains,
too hard and painful up the steep grades;
but on the summits of the mountain,
you have a magnificent view
- and feel exalted
- and your eyes are full of happy tears
-and you want to sing
- and you wish you had wings!
And then - you can't stay there,
but you must continue your journey
- you begin climbing down the other side,
so busy with your footholds
that your summit experience is forgotten.
