A friend and I hiked up the South face to be caught in a sudden late evening squall and pitched our tent in dark panic as night fell. We shivered in the misery of wet clothing and bedding as the storm beat against what seemed too fragile a fabric. The next day we found ourselves positioned on a scree field beside the lake near summit in literally the only place we could have pitched shelter. We remained three days overlooking Denver and the Eastern plains watching other hikers pick their way through the rocks and disappear over the summit. Except for three hours daily it rained.

When I feel most connected spiritually, I sense a connection with the ribbon extending infinitely into my past and trajected beyond my future. More of a story carries me into needless conjecture fraught with limitation and meandering hyperbole.
