"Beyond Measure"

For those who don’t know, in my academic life, I study issues related to height. I read this book last year about a woman who climbs Mt. Everest.

After reading the book I thought, why not? That would be a good goal to have.

To leave solid ground and travel among the clouds.

But now I’m forced to wonder…

Haven’t I climbed enough proverbial mountains?

Do I really need to prove I can to anyone but myself?
