Climbing High to be Grounded

This book is about finding and climbing our personal mountain. The mountain is both our mirror and mentor. It shows us what we are made of. We climb it because it makes us feel alive and grants us a greater view. We climb it because we want mastery over our life’s mystery. Concurrently, we begin to hear the summit calling. We crave solitude to ponder the purpose of life. We want to escape the outer din and the inner chatter. We want to clear our minds and peer beyond the layers of the societal veil.  We look at the world and ponder our role in it. We question our contribution to something greater than a mere self. As we struggle with finding answers, we keep on climbing. Indeed, as part of such metaphoric package, this books will explore the mysterious life of the world’s most famous mountain climber, George Mallory. Toward the end, there will also be a story about running the New York City marathon with a blind runner as a guide not only to achieve a personal goal, but to experience a greater sense of fulfilment by helping him to achieve his.
