“There are many trails up the mountain, but in time they all reach the top.”

“There are times when personal experience keeps us from reaching the mountain top and so we let it go because the weight of it is too heavy. And sometimes the mountain top is difficult to reach with all our resources, factual and confessional, so we are just there, collectively grasping, feeling the limitations of knowledge, longing together, yearning for a way to reach that highest point. Even this yearning is a way to know.”

“Every mountain top is within reach if you just keep climbing.”

“How you climb a mountain is more important than reaching the top.”

“Most people hold their fantasies out of reach, as if their desires are a mountain they could never summit. They settle for living at the base of the mountain instead. There aren't as many obstacles, or avalanches, or unexpected delays. But they'll never be able to see the view from the top.”

“If you stay intent and your ability warrants it, you will eventually reach the top of the mountain.”
