Shiny Side Up
- June 2015
- Simple Living
Hi, I tripped across a climber story from a friend on FB who races motorbikes as I do. I was curious and continued along the climbing and BASE stories and came across you and your story and website. I think i started reading as I recently read a book called The Rise of the Superman (I think) which takes Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi theory of the Flow state and extrapolates how extreme sports can access the flow state quicker and have an intuitive understanding. Anyway, I’m rambling and at random, I just wanted to say thank you for the inspiring words and thoughts on your website, I’ve been through some interesting times and popped out the other side with a similar outlook to what you wrote, though I’m far off being able to articulate it so beautifully. 😉 I can’t say I climb or understand your sport, but the peace I find on my motorbike with my throttle pinned and my knee scraping the tarmac at the apex is perhaps a parallel feeling.
Thankful to have read your words, if you were a racer I’d say stay shiny side up 😉 don’t know your lingo…… 🙂
Kind Regards
Fiona
Thanks Fiona,
It’s great to hear from people doing the same thing while doing it differently 🙂
I’d like to check out that book, thanks for the recommendation!
