Summit

This great offering is submitted by Rosemary Shirley

To reach the summit, one must proceed from encampment to encampment. But before setting out for the next refuge, one must prepare those coming after to occupy the place one is leaving. Only after having prepared them, can one go up. That is why, before setting out for a new refuge, we had to go back down in order to pass knowledge to other seekers.
