What goes up must come down....

...and when you are down, there is no where else to go but up...CLIMB!
Nothing lasts forever, the only constant is change. Preparing for change is never possible, we can imagine what life would be like but we never truly know until we are in the experience. Once in the experience, we may look around and wonder how we have arrived at the present moment, we look into the memory bank and may be able to trace back the one decision which made us end up in the present experience. We play with the idea of making a different decision and visualize a different experience...only to remember we will never know about that experience because the present one is what is true.
Overwhelmingly noted, every trip down and every climb up is one step at a time. Although, the trip down feels like a literal fall and the way back up feels like a climb on Mt. Everest. Whichever way we are going, it is an experience with lessons to be learned and to be applied on the fall back down or on the climb back up.
