Life Is Not a Wall

It's not about climbing up the hill.
It's not about climbing up the mountain.
It's all about deepening the feel.
It's all about deepening experience.
.
A hill, a mountain, our life -
We look at it the same.
Is it a constant struggle, battle,
Climbing? So lame.
.
The Plato said that truth is simple -
It's something what we knew.
But switch in brain to light is needed
When we start *recognizing* few.
.
We look at life as big high wall. 
That teaching is unwise.
But smart man tells us - life is stairs,
Just learn to recognize.
.
Don't fly on surface, skipping "grades",
The life will not forgive.
But deepen what you have, expand,
And then you will achieve.
