Krista Tippett Quotes

And He Remembered Climbing To The Peak Of The Andes In Peru Or Chile - I Can't Remember - And Then Turning As He Reached The Peak And Looking Behind Him. And He Said, It Was Like The Hallelujah Chorus In The Messiah, Playing With Full Orchestra, Blaring In His Head, Because He Was On Top Of The World. He Was Looking Down Almost Like God Upon This Creation, Which He Had Begun To Sort Out In His Own Mind As He'd Been Climbing, As It Were. At The End Of His Life He Was Asked, "What's The Most Extraordinary Experience You Had?" And He Remembered Climbing To The Peak Of The Andes.

It Was Sitting There And Feeling That There Must Be More To Man Than The Breath In His Body.
