Blerrie heck Macca, you sure know how to get full value out of your adventures...

I’m glad that you’re still with us and I know that the recovery time ahead of you will also be a significant undertaking, so I wish you all the very best with it mate.

After your previous exploits, like climbing Shai Halud, which though you probably didn’t equate such at the time (other than mindset acknowledgment), as having the potential for very real pain and suffering consequences similar to your present circumstances, I’m very interested in your thoughts on mortality and if your thoughts have changed in light of this recent mishap.

50/50 odds sounds okay to a conditioned mindset, but experience evolves with the life journey undertaken, and when a chapter like the one you’re adding now is included, I reckon hindsight / reflection allows legitimacy to reinterpretation of long held life values.

I’m also interested to know if through your recent experience/s if you have become aware of dimensions to existence that were previously obscured by ‘normal’ day to day living. Maybe these thoughts are best shared in the warmth of a campfire rather than online, and if so, then I look forward to our next meeting.
