I walk through life free with neither strings nor complexes and allow no one to come between me, my hopes and dreams
No negative thought dampens my spirit
My objective is to climb mountains, to reach the highest high at the top of the sky
I only depend on the strength of my muscles and faith and am completely secure of myself as I travel in pursuit of one ideal: height: Yes! height...mountains, sky
The hue of the sky guides me on my journey and is the energy for my soul as I lift myself higher
I have a burning desire to contemplate the heavens from the highest peak of a mountain. It is a difficult climb, I know, overwhelming, but I carry enough bread and salt to sustain me for the journey
Height fascinates me, the inaccessible, the difficult. I don’t want to be a caterpillar, nor worm, nor flea
I want to be distinct. I reject the elegant costumes that camouflages lies and betrayal and want to be a different sort from those who surround me
I want to scream in the heights: drink water in the heights and breathe in the heights
The mountain will be the final refuge of my soul, the sun streaked sky my travelling companion
I want to dream in the heights: fight in the heights and defy the wrath of the wind and the rain
And then, then...!Alone!...!Alone!...exclaiming...up...wards...always...up!
That’s what 'an old friend told me, and afterwards he adjusted his walking stick and continued his journey
