Re: 为什么爬山

"I believe there's something to be said for exploring beautiful places. It's good for the spirit." – David Scott from the Earth to the Moon on HBO.
Being a hiker, that really resonated with me and that's my main motivation for exploring.
be back with some thoughts...
博士 ...Here goes the Home Work in appreciation of making this trip possible :) ...Done! no more "be back with some thoughts" :) It takes me some time to do the translation, I may not do the Chinese translation...:)
Why do you like hiking?
I like hiking, it’s not because I want “get away” from crowds, noise, pollution, and urban sprawl. There is extraordinary beauty in hiking both physical and spiritual alike. Far from civilization, one can free your mind from the clutter of everyday life and see nature and life itself from a perspective that is far more in tune with the rest of creation.
Why do I like hiking? So, this is it!
--I like the people I encounter when I hike. They are friendly with joyful spirits, they chit chat and laugh; they shout on mountain tops. They share homemade food, they carry heavy water melons to the mountain top and share joy of sharing. They help out each other and they are team players. That’s great, they are awesome people!
--I like the beauty, I like the breath taking Wow moments and I like that memories that last. Hiking can get you to places of spectacular beauty, jaw dropping views that you just can’t find any other way.
--I like the nature. Being so close to the nature, it gives you this powerful unique aura around you. You have to have some kind of spiritual energy to understand nature's true beauty, thus calm the savage soul. Exploring nature gives the opportunity to investigate nature in its many interactions and you just touch on a means of liberating soul. Thus, immerse you into greatness and tap into the true pulse of life. Each time I am on the trail looking forward to bring back wisdom from the wilderness and apply it in real life.
I like hiking, I am inspired by this quote:
“I went to the woods because I wished to live deliberately, to front only the essential facts of life, and see if I could not learn what it had to teach, and not, when I came to die, discover that I had not lived. “
–Henry David Thoreau, Walden
--I love nature, the fact that you won’t have to deal with pretension or camouflage, hearing no city traffics, no keyboards, no technologies. Being in the wilderness, I like the mountains and forests and lakes and I like the flowers, I like the daffodils, I like the green hills, I like the Firestone, I like the old ceder and oak trees. I like to watch mountain goats dance down the sheer cliffs of Mountain top. I like to watch sun rise and sun set, I like the sea where its meets the sky, the roaring waves meeting the shore overriding fears, the amazing stars in the sky, star fish clinging rocks, and all kinds of tiny marine creatures breathing in the natural aquarium nearby sea wall (WCT trip). I enjoy hearing the breeze, a stream or river, or the sounds of birds or other animals and the wind flopping leaves in the trees, and watching the fish flipping on Lake Surface. Absolute peace and tranquility, you can just sit there and take it all in. I enjoy the solitude, the scent of the woods, I like the fresh crispy mountain air and surprise around every switchback, jaw dropping views. I like to set camping tent on a mountain rock near by cliff and enjoying the nightmare of fear of height and dreaming about possibly blowing off the cliff (Bugaboo trip) during sleep. I like lying in the sun, staring at the sky, and watching the mysteriously moving clouds, doing absolutely nothing... having Good times
--I like the sense of accomplishment, I like the process of unknown becomes known, I like to explore places, I like the challenge to expect the unexpected. From hiking, I learn self-control, fear the nature, and know the priority of safety, and most of all, I learn to survive in difficult conditions. After a long hike, or a difficult climb, I can look back and say “I did that. And I did it well.”
--I do sometimes set goals, but mostly I consider hiking to be a journey rather than a destination. Being out on a remote trail or wilderness area, I enjoy a sense of communion with something greater than myself - Nothing like a bad storm above 10 thousand feet high can make you feel small!
--I also like the physical part of hiking…getting my heart rate up, working up a sweat. I feel good after exercise.
If I had to choose one word to epitomize the hiking experience, the word is FREEDOM. It is the freedom to be yourself while nature has the freedom to be itself as well. There is no pretext, no mask, no constraints. The only limits are those imposed by the need to survive and be comfortable.
Translation: 如果不得不選擇一個，作為遠足經驗的縮影，這個詞是"自由"。那是做回自己的自由，而自然本身是自由。沒有藉口，沒有面具，沒有任何限制。唯一的限制是生存的需要，舒適的限制。
Yes, I like to hike, and it's great!
So, why do you like hiking? |
