Maya Stein Quotes
How To Climb A Mountain
Make No Mistake. This Will Be An Exercise In Staying Vertical.
Yes, There Will Be A View, Later, A Wide Swath Of Open Sky,
But In The Meantime: Tree And Stone. If You're Lucky, A Hawk Will
Coast Overhead, Scanning The Forest Floor. If You're Lucky,
A Set Of Wildflowers Will Keep You Cheerful. Mostly, Though,
A Steady Sweat, Your Heart Fluttering Indelicately, A Solid Ache
Perforating Your Calves. This Is Called Work, What You Will Come To Know,
Eventually And Simply, As Movement, As All The Evidence You Need To Make
Your Way. Forget Where You Were. That Story Is No Longer True.
Level Your Gaze To The Trail You're On, And Even The Dark Won't Stop You.
