Must be exhilarating to reach the top under your own steam, sadly many have perished in the attempt. Tom

Cost-benefit analysts would never take the risk, I guess. That's why they are financial guys in suits, and others are adventurers, I guess. ~ Neither, gw

Nice one, gw. I loved the image of "the icy crest." I have never remotely dreamed of climbing a mountain, so I will never rest beneath Mt. Everest!

Well, you and I both. We'll never-rest under Ever-rest! Wink, wink :) gw

Smile... If I am com-padre, Can I title you 'co-madre!' More smiles... Thanks, Kim!

Somehow, reminds me of noted Frost with the serene echoic connotation! Regards

Lol! I mean Frost's Stopping by Woods on a Snowy Evening!

Frost?! Intriguing comment. Robert Frost and I attended the same college. (Dartmouth). He was voted the 3rd or 4th most influential alumnus of the past 250 years. There were 24 others on the list, including Dr. Suess (Theodore Gisell, who was #7, I think). I must have been #26. LOL! Thank you for such a generous comment, Silpika. Light and Illumination, Gershon
