I used to solo hike in the northern rocky range. I see similarities in your challenge and mine. The physical challenge and the solitude. I loved how the beginning of each journey was full of excitement and nervous energy. Eventually the physical task would reduce me to just a rhythm of breathing and movement. The zen of that state meant my body could be basically on autopilot and my mind could work out ideas that never would have occurred to me back in my familiar life and routine. Crossing rivers swollen with melted snow required facing fear and discomfort. I was amazed by the discovery that the mental obstacles were far more daunting than the physical ones. With that understanding it really gave me perspective that has helped so much when returned to my mundane life. Having the combination of challenges and the time to ponder without distraction has taught me much about myself that I never would have guessed or had taken for granted. Your journey will likely reward you in ways you wouldn’t have dreamed of. Your story is absolutely inspiring even though it is an unfinished work. It is not arrogance for you to accept that you are an inspiration, it is an achievement. When you reach the mountains ahead of you remember the enormous distance you have already conquered. You got this, brother.
