“May you live every day of your life”
-- Jonathan Swift
A family photo turned motivational poster after I decided to pair it with the quote from Jonathan Swift above. The original title, “Reefs on Top”, was discarded as too obscure, confusing and self-centered. But even though it does not matter who are the two tiny figures on the edge of almost 1,500m (4,500ft) cliff for anybody except for us, this shot and day were special. It took us good 4 hours to hike and scramble from the parking lot at 300m above the sea/fjord level to this point. There was mud, loose and slippery rocks and old snow on the way up, so we were happy we could make it. But that did not mean we “conquered” the mountain, no. We were humbled by being enveloped in the cloud which only for fleeting moments allowed us to catch a glimpse of what would have been a spectacular view ahead and below. In the end, we did not regret it. It was an experience we will cherish for many years to come – and it was a day we lived fully.
