Trajectory Dreams

2015 - We made it to the next base camp ... the part of the mountain we saw in the distance, long ago. Once, a few colored dots on the horizon, now a bold, bright banner of thin prayer flags, waving in the wind, declaring "Look how far God led us!"
 
2016 - We couldn't believe how far we'd come, yet knew we still should move. So, we strapped on our packs, acclimated to the altitude, and divided to conquer. We spread our scope wider as we surveyed the land and said, "There's still more ground to explore around this base camp."
 
2018 - We, who were hindered or scared, are strong and free. The once ill-equipped, now guide and lead, holding the stories and fables of the climb. We, determined to make it to the next base camp proclaim, "Let's plant our prayer flags here."
