And what country can preserve its liberties if their rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let them take arms. The remedy is to set them right as to facts, pardon and pacify them. What signify a few lives lost in a century or two? The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants.
If these are the steps leading up to the top of the mountain just behind Manchu Picchu, l was there and went up the trail as far as the last stretch, which had steps and took you to the very top. I tried to go up, clinging to the wall of the mountain but froze: l just could not go higher. It was a sheer drop of hundreds of feet! I crept back down, clinging to the wall. . .
As I get older my balance is not what it was, I think those stairs are in my past.... If you have something you want to do, don't wait too long, or as the old fat man says, "Don't wait Do it now".

I'll stay on top and cheer you on while you make your descent.
ReplyDeleteMy youngest made that treck a few years back. She said the mosquitoes distract from the terror of falling.
ReplyDeleteThey issue parachutes for the climb?
ReplyDeleteAll day and all night you heard "Aaahaaa." That's why they went extinct.
ReplyDeleteMe and my gimp leg says: "Nope. Nope. Nopity-nope" in both directions.
ReplyDeleteThis is how they weeded out people too old to feed.
