Every time I climb a hill

I conquer a hill

but if I climb mountains

do I conquer mountains?

what stands between me

the hills and the mountains?

nothing

so climb

journey

denial

anger

bargaining

depression

acceptance

the stages of grief

the states of life experience

everyone experiences

in no particular order

over and over for some

the longer you meddle in each

the longer the moment per stage

to heal is to know

life is always a moment

of anger to forgiveness

bargaining to acceptance

depression to happiness

acceptance to being in the present

duality of the journey

we call life
