“If you never climb Mt. Fuji you
are a fool, and if you climb it more than once you are a fool.” Japanese
proverb, author unknown
A dear friend of mine from a Japanese class recently told me
that she and her father were planning to climb Mount Fuji in the coming
summer. She was completely excited about
the pending adventure and I just smiled, not knowing quite how to respond. My experience climbing the mountain was more
than a tad bit traumatic, something that I did many years ago, something I've effectively managed to block out of my memory.
I promised her that I would try to recall the experience and that I
would post about it on my blog. Soon to
come will be some recollections of the event and unfortunately, the names will not
be changed to protect the innocent.
