"A Wide Canvas....."



"Climbing... offers a wide canvas upon which to paint adventures... the mind is working, the body is working, and the spirit is working to get up this puzzling piece of rock. The same elements, I have found, exist in running rivers... tell of magic in that moving water, and its many gifts: gifts of beauty and adventure, of battle and achievement, gifts of joy and skill, of the pride of mastery, gifts of solo endeavour and of rich companionship." R.Robbins


So well said and such truths to be found in these many gifts... What shall we each paint next...

Just a quick note of thanks to Summit Stones on behalf of OSAT (www.osat.org), for the summit stones you sent our organization. I'll be distributing them this evening, at the 19th anniversary of the founding of a weekly AA meeting atop Tiger Mountain outside of Seattle. Although these and other OSAT meetings are rarely in need of a muse, I'm sure that more than a few of these readings will be shared at many of them in high places, and always with a note of thanks for you joining our circle, if only vicariously.
Keep Climbing Mountains, and Don't Slip!
