Go with the flow! What’s your problem? It’s not such a big deal is it? Maybe you need to eat healthier! Stop smoking, It’s the tobacco! Maybe you created it with your mind. That’s Life Dave! Deal with it! C’est comme ca La Vie.
My good lord...it’s not your problem! Its mine!! I will deal with it! I asked none of you for your opinion!

We don’t care Dave. It will be good for you!!! We know more about you then you know about you.
No.

Stop being so negative!

Just go with the flow!

Chill!

Being upset isn’t normal.

Damn, you look miserable!

Isn’t it nice to have a vacation?
What!?

Why do always talk about your hand!

Let it go! 

Let it go!

It’s not a big deal! We are telling you this! Just accept!
Then I’m running. Please let me be...I will go to the valley, maybe I will find something, like boulders, in the mountains, I want them…get me there...maybe I will be inspired...maybe it will fix me...

Fine. Go.
I’m gone. 

So where have you been? It’s been a while? What about the injury?
It’s incredible what happened. After four months of resting, no change with the pain, not knowing a thing, it just passes like it came. It lingers, but it doesn’t prevent, it limits, yet it doesn’t ruin, it creates. Its still there but it coexists. They say they saw a cyst in the MRI. They call the Ganglion formation unexplainable. They try to make some sense, but they can’t. They wanted to cut, and they didn’t. You’re god damn right.

Where are you now?
Still in Valais...

Where are you going?
Bouldering! On the sickest, most inspiring boulders I have found in years! 

How did you find them?
I Looked. Something like a constellation prize for being injured?

I doubt that.
I was joking. Doubt what you want! Those boulders brought me an incredible mind state. Coincidences like that are too precious to question.

So how do you feel?
I love climbing,

I love imagination,

I love motivation,

I love inspiration,

I love the feeling of passion.

I am glad I never let go of anything I held as precious. I am not giving up being passionate about life. Fuck acceptance. Freedom is attainable.

Crazy.
Its been the most inspiring thing that happened since I first smelled cold fresh air, when I was a little kid. I love that smell of cold fall air so much...
