• Consider the word “time.” We use so many phrases with it. Pass time. Waste time. Kill time. Lose time. In good time. About time. Take your time. Save time. A long time. Right on time. Out of time. Mind the time. Be on time. Spare time. Keep time. Stall for time. There are as many expressions with “time” as there are minutes in a day. But once, there was no word for it at all. Because no one was counting. Then Dor began. And everything changed.

• To look at any thing,
  If you would know that thing,
  You must look at it long:
  To look at this green and say,
  "I have seen spring in these
  Woods," will not do - you must
  Be the thing you see:
  You must be the dark snakes of
  Stems and ferny plumes of leaves,
  You must enter in
  To the small silences between
  The leaves,
  You must take your time
  And touch the very peace
  They issue from.

  John Moffitt

• Climbing is this long term, lifelong journey. It's really important to just take your time with it and keep it fun. I've seen a lot of people burn out because it starts becoming this job for them. It stops being fun. For me, it's been really important to keep it enjoyable. Listen to your motivation.
