from [Into Thin Air]

"evenings were peaceful...there was loneliness, too, as the sun set, but only rarely now did doubts return. then I felt, sinkingly, as if my whole life lay behind me...I knew (or trusted) that this would give way to total absorption with the task at hand. but at times I wondered if I had not come a long way only to find that what I really sought was something I had left behind..."
