So often in everyday life i spend time appreciating what has been, or what is to come. My brain is quite flighty and tends to jump very quickly through various themes, topics, emotions. i spend much time feeling the moment but struggle not to analyse it as well and tracing the threads that have lead me to where i am and the impact of all of this on where i am heading. What i love about climbing and gives me a sense of escape is that i am more focused on the now. I would say it is rare when i'm climbing for me to have any other thoughts than what is going on at that very moment. This feels powerful to me cause it gives me a glimps of what i could achieve if i could just focus on one thing at a time. Maybe a glimpse of what i am capable of as a human? Or as i am often told maybe i am reading into things to much?
