the fools life

we went rock climbing just last night, and finished right as the sun was setting. what a perspective, sitting on top of a boulder, looking out to the Pacific mountains to the west, with an orangy-pink sky. a few foggy clouds were sweeping in just below me. i could see so far, but was reminded of how small i am. the traffic lights moved along in a line far below, and i sighed and thought, "what fools we are."
