Off We Go!!

Said in a cockney accent with great glee!

Into the day what wonders we shall see!

Stepping off…they say..you’re on the way

 

Traction

I have my traction with me

In my pack

My axe too

I am definitely over prepared today

I start below the trees but quick press above that line

The snowfield before nine

Trail still crisp and crunchy but filled with footsteps from those ascending and descending before

Sun and light kiss and sweep down  

My pace is steady

Pendulum steps feel like a machine that cannot be stopped.

I feel like I was made for this 

Maybe I am a mountaineer in the making

“That’s enough for now. This was good. It was good for you and good for me.  You heard about a cup being filled today.  I am the one who fills your cup and oh how how I find joy in seeing you filled that way.”
