Touching the Void

Last night I watched Touching
the Void, a movie about two young men who attempted to climb an Andean
mountain of 21,000 feet. This is such a powerful story about living on the
edge. It took my breath away, and I was held powerfully in suspense until the
very end.

All of us live in life and death situations as we go through our days. We often delude ourselves by going unconscious that this is the dance we
are doing constantly. We are always walking on the edge of life and death. Mountain climbing makes this edge
visible. You are consciously aware that this is the situation in which you
climb. 

In Touching the Void, Simon
and Joe face fear and death in ways most of us seldom experience. Their story
will absolutely inspire you with who we all are and with what is possible for
you in your life. I don’t recommend you tackle climbing Siula Grande yourself. I do recommend you find your own joyous edge for living a full life. 

I don’t want to tell you too much about the movie. I want you to
rent it, and then tell me what you think, what you felt and experienced.
