We all have our own mountains to climb and our own 'summits' to achieve. There are many kinds of 'summits' and many adventure ways. Yet, as Royal Robbins said: "The point is still the same: Adventure!" These 'Summit Stones' and the 'Adventure Muse' are just a gift to remind us to ponder all of this... And a way of passing something on and giving back...
The 'Adventure Muse' was put together with quotes and perspectives discovered in many kinds of journeys as well as to share some thoughts about what the 'Summit Stone' elements mean. The quotes reflect on the nature of Adventure experiences...
I believe we really need to consider what each of us has been given within the wilderness opportunities placed before us. And then to consider giving back in many varied ways by getting out and expending energy that supports not just our own goals but those of the bigger picture - be it advocacy, trail building, cleaning up a beach, giving to a wilderness charity, time with youth, whatever...
Please accept these small gifts and the spirit they were made in. I have placed them countless times with a summit register, on a small deserted beach, at a trail head, or even on another adventurers' car windshield, when I've finished a journey and wanted to share some of it - even just anonymously...
This is not some kind of marketing gimmick, nor would these ever be for sale. The 'Stones' are as real as they feel; the words of the 'Muse' are as real as each of us makes them... They are just an offering. I guess people will make what they will of them... If you do enjoy them, then pass something along or give something back to someone else you see on their own journey.
May the spirit and meaning you create for yourself and others during adventures be forever present... DSD
