Poem Artwork

Pursuing his good reputation

Of a famously known climber,
 
He used to ascend the peaks
 
Sustained by many carriers;
 
Hence his fame and success.
 

Getting out from clefts and cavities,

The strength of his carriers

Does not let him perish on top

Of the mountain ranges and slopes.

 
 
And the final event to himself
 
Has been that as he climbs up alone,

On his own strength, he breaks his thigh

And cracks another leg. Acting rashly,

He makes a whip for his own back.

 
 
Truly, the best climbers first put themselves
 
Beyond the possibility of attaining success,
 
But acting in securing themselves, they wait
 
For an opportunity of launching an ascent

Against forbidding peaks to snatch a win.

Let us read this as a metaphor of the summits that we climb within, of "launching an ascent against forbidding peaks. . . "

Frankly, I find that those that need to carry tons of support material and rely on others to get them to the top safely a bit Imperial.

On the other hand, when we fly in a jet plane to get to our destination instead of walking, aren't we doing the same?
