Sunday soliloquies...

I don't really think I know what soliloquies are.. but I like the word and it does go well with sunday.
The point is I needed a name for a post. And here goes...

So I absolutely love climbing! Well bouldering for the most part... It is so much fun!!! It is such a weirdly active sport. You are clinging to a rock, craning your neck to look for just the right hold. Then you have to power up and grab it. Its so exhilarating when you throw your arm up and hope that it hits the right spot, then grab and hold it tight as you can. I love that it doesn't just work your arms, legs or abs.. it works the whole body. It feels so good to be out there in all the sand and dirt. Shoving your fingers and toes in nooks and crannies, hoping they will hold you and that spiders won't bite you. Every time I go climbing I just want to get lost out there and never come back. Climb all day and just forget about modern society. It is so easy to relax up there where its just you and climbs. No distractions. Its calming and comforting that the only thing you can count on is yourself. Its all about making the right grabs and finding the right holds. Pushing with all your power and strength to reach just an inch further. I feel like it helps one to discover the essence of the earth. Nature's pure beauty.

I now make it my priority to develop my climbing skills and abilities.. Also to work on getting a little buffer so those holds pay off when I can bust out a huge reach and pull myself to the top!

Love, Loyalty, and Friendship, forever and always,
