"I See," Said the Blind Man...
I just spent an amazing couple of hours at the second annual Barbara and Galen Rowell Lecture listening to Erik Weihennmayer tell stories and show slides and video footage of his adventures rock climbing, skiing, summiting Mount Everest... blind.
Kind of puts life's little challenges in perspective! I wish I had Erik's sense of humor; in addition to being a general bad-ass, the guy's a total comedian. And he drew more than a few tears with his insights into life, love, happiness...
Cheesy inspirational parting words: "Most people think you have to see to believe. But really, you have to believe to see." Aw.
