“At the top of the mountain we are all snow leopards.”

“Kilimanjaro is a snow-covered mountain 19,710 feet high, and is said to be the highest mountain in Africa. Its western summit is called the Masai 'Ngaje Ngai', the House of God. Close to the western summit there is a dried and frozen carcas of a leopard. No one has explained what the leopard was seeking at that altitude.”

“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.”

“Everyone wants to live on top of the mountain, but all the happiness and growth occurs while you're climbing it.”

“The depth lies in the valleys where we seek her, and not upon the mountain-tops where she is found.”
