I recently read an interview of a mountain climber about her ascent of Mount Everest. What caught my attention was her statement that sometimes we have to go backwards in order to make progress. As I am unfamiliar with high altitude climbing, this struck me as counter-intuitive. Given that mountains are frequently used in Scripture in connection with the spiritual life, it also gave me something to ponder.
The analogy between the physical challenge & adjustments required to climb the highest & possibly the most difficult mountain in the world and one's personal spiritual development throughout temporal life, resonates well with masculine men in their twenties, i.e. my five sons. Thank you for this gift.
