Spun again, upward mobility, rarified air, too much too fast.
Stabilize again, readjust to new realities, focus anew, move upward again.
The world is left behind but never forgotten, memories last, certainties left behind.
Forward and forward, higher and higher, the trail over hill, dale and bridges take you.
Mountain passes give a momentary breath of fresh air but the journey continues.
More gains, new insights, knowledge gathered at each and every bend and scene.
Breathtaking, too much too fast, time to restabilize and ponder the new knowledge.
Pack it away and head on out again.
Life's a never ending journey, full of new adventures and new perspectives.
Other travelers met, views are exchanged, and sometimes translated
Sometimes varient lessons are the same but understood differently
The lessons are still the same, no matter how you see it.
Life, life, a strange thing to behold
and, there is more to come
Will it strengthen you?
