I came across this a few years ago and it moved me deeply. For me, it signifies the struggle to ‘the top’ but raises so many more issues and ideas…
… The top of what?
… Sometimes it’s so hard to move just one step only just to fall back again
… We struggle so much only to lose it all, either while living or through death
It’s a common experience for all of us to …
strive
fail
succeed
lose
win
fall
climb
… and each step feels so different, so important, yet is all part of the same thing…
that thing we call living.
