Chaing Mai, Thailand –
Yes, I know what they say.
“To find enlightenment, you must climb to the top of the mountain.”
How about I just ride the cable car instead?
It’s faster, and easier on the knees.
Yes, you lose the time spent in contemplation, as you are laboring your way up.
One step in front of the next.
But on the cable car, when you get to the top, you’re not nearly as out of breath.
At least for those of us not in great shape.
Plus, you avoid all of the people tempting you with trinkets or treats, trying to part you from your money, on the way up.
It’s much easier to say no when you’re going down the stairs and not huffing and puffing.
