Your(b)life

-by David Blasco Aguilar-

From high up in the clouds it looks down, idly watching the lines of walkers making their way to its summit.

Undaunted and unscrupulous, it hurls steps of relentless ascent from above, casting scornful glances at the brave men who, step after step, with poles and crampons, are discouraged by the "crip-crap" of the cliffs that tumble down its slopes.

A winding ascent to the highest peak has no room for thoughts, only listening to the sounds of oneself, the beating of footprints and footsteps and the resilience that we are where others have tried and others wish to go.
