On the first week of paternity leave, I wound up watching The Alpinist, The Rescue, and 14 Peaks… I guess a part of me knows I’m not exactly going to be mountaineering or cave diving too soon, so I might as well scratch the itch via streaming.
All three were really good. Towards the end of 14 Peaks, I felt pumped listening to @nimsdai talk about the alive-ness one feels when pursuing a project or a goal that seems just about impossible to others, and I know I have a handful of those within me to get to.
The past couple years for me, and probably the bulk of the world, have largely been focused on survival and getting by, and while that’s admirable, it felt refreshing to also be reminded of what it feels like to go beyond- to take on chosen challenges that make us feel alive.
