Day 115: “Most [climbers climb] not because they want to live longer, but because they want to live life to the fullest. If you're going to while away the years, it's far better to live them with clear goals and fully alive then in a fog, and I believe [climbing] helps you to do that. Exerting yourself to the fullest within your individual limits: that's the essence of [climbing], and a metaphor for life—and for me, for writing as whole. I believe many [climbers] would agree.” - Haruki Murakami, What I Talk about when I Talk about Running #alexaphotoaday #april #theme April 25, 2014 at 11:23PM
