"Chilling At The Crag" by Federica Valabrega
I climb rocks because it feels
fulfilling and humbling
I climb rocks because when I reach for the next hold
I must calm my mind
I climb rocks because calming my mind
allows me to know myself better
I climb rocks because once at the top
I get to see the progress I made and smile
I climb rocks because
it feels good to smile at my efforts and let go being perfect
The only time I do not climb rocks
it’s when I am taking pictures of other climbers
