Mountain View

I
                                        have
                                      climbed
                                   the highest
                                mountains and
                           seen the world spread
                    out before me as a prize to be
               won. Not with deeds of strength and
        valor, but with words of charity and love. I am
  not interested in conquering en masse, just one by one.
