Mind Over Matter

While hiking up Bishop's Peak (San Louis Obispo, CA) my sister assured me that it's all "mind over matter" to get to the top. She told me that reaching to top is so refreshing that you feel like a new person and the hike down is no problem. She was right. Standing on the top of that rock felt so good that it was hard to believe that at times during the climb my heart was beating so hard that I thought it was going to explode.

Up there, I spotted a woman meditating on a near by rock on the neighboring peak. I guess that day she needed a new start.
