Now, what?

Butte Montmartre, a clear afternoon

After you get up, one more level, you feel on the top of the world.

For an hour or a day.

You know, all the work that took you to arrive there. You know, how long and how strong you looked ahead to arrive.

But, now, what?

There is always one more level up, or you go down and begin all again, or you find new paths.

But before all that, you stop, rest, think. Breath.
