I started climbing mountains 2 years ago. i had meant to start doing this forever. finally did it. when you get up to the top and just look.

we can't replace nature no matter how smart we get. we destroy a lot of it and go to the mall. this place has been here for millions of years.

we're part of nature.

i'm addicted to it now and my dogs love me for it!!

when i was coming down the highest one i've done, the song "golden" by my morning jacket came on my I-pod. it was the perfect song for that moment. i tried to do that here.

Time like a road
where i found you
taking me by surprise
listening to the song
we're not alone
floating on
reaching for the sound
i feel as one
see we're all one
standing here in the sun
stay return a smile i feel at one
one
la da da da

smiling on
dreaming into the sound
making a joyful noise
i could fly

see you rising oh
dancing out in the sun
you see whole one
stepping to live out loud
float on hear the sound
listening to the wind blow
what i hold's mine

the peace you find can change your mind you're floating
standing on
reaching for the moon this joy calls your heart
you hear
this is your life
whistling on the road
could it be the light you save my love
i would fly

see you rising oh
reaching up to the moon
you sing high now
listening to the sound you bring not alone
reaching for the light
it's in everything
oh

time like a road
now you know
living in the sound
listen to the wind blow
know alive
reaching for
reaching for it
not alone
