I love the parallelism you make between the physical journey and the "other" journey, i.e. the personal, psychological journey we become aware of when a combination of circumstances gives us a chance of catching a quick glimpse into these two journeys in unison. It took me back to when I was fortunate enough to climb the Great of Wall of China in the summer of 2019. I remember realising I was very fortunate to be experiencing it at the exact age of 30 as I felt young enough to dare certain risky moves yet old enough to appreciate the value of life and experiences. Very inspiring work!

Thank you so much, Andres! I appreciate your comments 🙏 I’ve begun to realize that so much of life that has been worthwhile are based on the kinds of experiences you described here at the Great Wall. I’m looking forward to writing about more of these experiences—and of course reading yours!
