From the base camp it is necessary that we reestablish our [[commitment]] and our focus so as to be of one [[heart]] in our desire to make this climb together. As I gaze down over you, my companions, I see the willingness necessary to commit to this next [[phase]]. Willingness is [[good]]. [[Dedication]] is required. I ask each of you in the hours after our [[embrace]] here to go apart and find your dedication to this next leg of the [[journey]]. Any climber who does not feel up to the task is required to stay at base camp and not put the others into [[risk|peril]]. There is no shame in such an admission of unreadiness, and each must find for themselves their next level of commitment and dedication. I welcome all who are fit and feel ready for this next leg of the journey. | From the base camp it is necessary that we reestablish our [[commitment]] and our focus so as to be of one [[heart]] in our desire to make this climb together.
