Sobre uma escalada...

See that giant rock on the left? Yeah... That's the one I climbed! Not the easiest, nor the hardest, not the smallest, neither biggest... The perfect one…


Up there, there's nothing else... No room for wonderings, no time to waste, just feel the adrenaline, and climb up!


Right moves bring you to the top, wrong moves can make you fall down... When you're almost there, but the path is really hard, and it seems you can't find a firm rock to hang on, you may think that it's better to let go, and relax... The secret to achieve the top is to focus on your goal, and repeating to yourself that you ain't givin up...



When you reach the top, there's nothing else there... Just you... You feel the air blowing in your face, it seems it's caressing your skin... You hear nothing but the wind, the birds, your breath, your heart beating... It's a sacred moment... Say a prayer, thank your God for the opportunity of seeing all that beauty in front of you, and giving you strength to get there.



Then you start your descent… And you learn the most important thing on this, is to trust the one who’s holding your rope, because he literally has your life in its hands… One false move and you might be dead… So you close your eyes, turn your back to the rest, and let yourself go in the pace of your partner.

 

Sometimes you look down, just to be sure you’re not gonna step on any hole, or hurt yourself on any sharp rock on the way, or even just to be sure how long is there left till you can put your feet on the ground again…



And when you're close to the soil, you’ll realize you just wanna start it all over again… Cause to be all the time on Earth is boring, and being on Highs too much is too sublime to bare… There’s no balance point. Cause that’s life.

Not real, not a dream, not nice, not bad, all in one, nothing at all…

Ups and downs…
