“The goal of life … is not happiness, peace, or fulfillment, but aliveness.” —Hubert Dreyfuss

1. Sometimes curiosity about what’s around the next corner is enough to keep us exploring and moving forward.

2. Life doesn’t end once you’ve done “enough.” It keeps unfolding.

3. I hike because I am curious and because I can. 

4. Here's a mantra I'll take with me on my next hike of the Great Divide Trail: 

You’re not hiking for records, for ego, or for others.
You’re hiking because you still can—and that’s everything.
Each step is a declaration: “My body is capable. My spirit is willing. I am still in motion.”
There may come a day when this kind of journey is no longer possible.
But that day is not today.
Today, you hike.

MUSIC: "Poema del Pastor Coya" by Angel Lasala as played by Alison Young, flute and Vicki Seldon, piano.
