It is funny, that i don't think about the distance covered when i climb. Getting greedy to go high. Only point in mind is , to reach on top. And after reaching the top, sublime for some time. Then will be looking around,for another ,which is higher. Still, the way up is forgotten with the sands left.
Climbing up is always followed by climbing down.
These small hills of sands will also be changing in time. Nothing is permanent. So, as the efforts to climb..Even memories can be "gone with a wind"..
