Team poem, lead by Bill

To Everest Base Camp, or not to Everest Base Camp,that is the question, whether ’tis nobler..


..for the beauty of the earth, and people is infinite, so


we will remember the cave of Gorakshep,the sights of Base Camp replenishing our souls
But the memories of shared meals,steps together, and smiles on Nepali flats will continue for a lifetime.


Stuck in crowds on barren hillsides, queuing over rocks and streams
The sounds of bells, rotor blades,and voices pour into immense space


the tranquility and silence swirling in the midst of the Himalayan sounds


And the constant stony roar of the river below brought back memories of


gratitude for being in the presence of the grand yet serene, while waking everyday to the crisp perfect blue skies.


So close to the infinite, so near to the top
humbled, grounded, small, alive pushing boundaries, growing emotionally and physically, as..


..huh…


..the journey outweighs the destination, and the people maketh the journey.We made the 12 day trek to base camp
