WISDOMS
THRU HIKING
• One of the survival skills is being able to make lemonade out of lemons.
• We were in really difficult conditions and you still have to find ways to laugh and find ways to brighten your spirit.
• I think that there’s something deep down. We reach inside and we rise to this. We rise to it.
• Because the truth is the pain never stops, but the wonder of being out there is what carries you through.
• Land you walk over, you feel differently about and you notice things differently about.
• If I were to see you coming at me on the trail right now, this is what I would know. I would know you would give me the shirt off your back. And I would know you’re looking at me and feeling the same thing. Simple because we’re out here and the way we got here is by walking.
• Doing this natural motion we’re open to things differently.
