Contemptible Confusion

What is it that we seek in this life anyway? For some the answers seem to pop into mind immediately. Mine is often overwhelmed with a million desires leading to utter confusion. I don't understand how life can be so complex, and so simple at the same time. It is all dependent upon what the desire of the moment is. Life is fleeting moments, moments that can not be captured except in the memory, and even then, we skew and change them to what our perception craves. I suppose that is why I am so enthralled with activities that force you to live the moment. Climbing, mathematics, and slacklining transform my thoughts into simplicity. But there is a dire side effect : it has turned me into an insomniac. I spend late nights lying in bed wishing I could fall into dream land worrying about my next move, how to fulfill my next temporary desire. It leaves me angry and sleepy.

And now some old pictures for your reminiscing/viewing pleasure:
