Jon Krakauer

It is true that I miss intelligent companionship, but there are so few with whom I can share the things that mean so much to me that I have learned to contain myself. It is enough that I am surrounded with beauty...

When you forgive, you love. And when you love, God's light shines on you..

I didn't doubt the potential value of paying attention to subconscious cues...Problem was, my inner voice resembled Chicken Little: it was screaming that I was about to die, but it did that almost every time I laced up my climbing boots.
