Reaching Beyond your grasp


Charlie Houston, physician and mountaineer passed away recently at age 96. In a conversation with Bill Moyers related to reaching beyond one's comfort zone, he once said, "Even pygmies standing on the shoulders of giants can reach, can see further than the giants can."

Life is about continuing to reach...
to look forward to that next corner, around which is...in part the unknown;
and doing so even at moments when you think you have lost the energy and will to do so.
