The Beauty of Living Next to a Mountain
Living next to a mountain has many benefits...
1- you can climb it.
2- you can look at it.
3- you can enjoy it.
Coming from Regina, Saskatchewan you really don't take mountains for granted... It takes like 9 hours of driving before you hit one from that prairie mecca called Regina.
When you spend time in the mountains there is no time.
The more time you spend with your friend, the mountain, the more you get to know it-
the more you know the true nature of yourself.
The mountain can teach you many lessons if you surrender yourself to it.
Alissa and I went for a mountain hike on Sun (26th). We reached a peek where you could oversee all of Chilgok (the suburb we live in). Alissa was so moved by the beauty and majesty of the mountain that we made a slalom pact that we would not take for granted this gift just a few minutes walk away from our tinny little villa. We promised ourselves that we would try to climb a mountain every weekday morning. Our first mission ...
Tomorrow morning we would hike Hamjisan mountain and watch the sun rise over the rolling mountain peeks.
MON: the alarm rang, we looked out the window, the sun was already up, we grumbled a little, went back to bed.
TUES: we were hung over from a night of partying with our adult speaking class (Korean BBQ, Soju, a pub, beer, drunkenness, then of course late night Karaoke).... there's no way I'm hiking Mr. Hamjisan!
WED: we roll out of bed at 6:00, half awake, hike to the peek, and watch as the sun rise.
Life is good on the mountain.
