"The mountains don't care." If you've ventured over some 14ers, you have probably seen these signs of warning before you became a walking lighting rod above the treeline... but life without risk, choices that cost nothing, reveal nothing; nothing about you, and nothing about God. The mountains are a glorious place to experience risk and fragility, and one of our favorite places to experience revelation. 14 years in Kazakhstan and other central asian countries was a wonderful place to marinade and learn the ways of the nomad. Some of my greatest relationships happened while building an Investment banking firm, and marketing and distributing an egyptian soap opera.
