Embrace Challenge To See The World

Climb the mountain not to plant your flag,

but to embrace the challenge, 

enjoy the air and behold the view. 

Climb it so you can see the world, 

not so the world can see you.

Amazing Views Above The Clouds

May your trails be crooked, winding, lonesome, dangerous, 

leading to the most amazing view. 

May your mountains rise into and above the clouds.

Unobstructed Bright Moon

My storehouse having been burnt down,

nothing obstructs my view of the bright moon.
