What I learned from TREKKING in the Himalayas

Each step is mindful… one at a time
Each step is surpriseful… majestic view or steep climb

Lyrical streams add music… flowing peacefully beside
sometimes hindering paths… defying strides to be traversed

Often there is bridge… or merely a branch…
Or slippery rocks under strong currents to wade or trudge

there may be a helping hand… along sharp turns,
a sturdy boulder for support or just the two legs that burn

trekking is not just a walk or even a climb,
not a journey to reach the top just to be sublime,

trekking is a reminder… of our perseverance
our resolve to trek on forward… barring all impediment,
cue to breathe
to absorb... all the scenes
to experience it fully... at every pace,

Trekking is...
an experience,
a lesson
on how to truly be alive!
