That's My World is the next post down.
If you do not raise your eyes you will think that you are the highest point. ~Antonio Porchia, Voces, 1943, translated from Spanish by W.S. Merwin

Lessons from the fourth picture ....
Growing tall in life
sometimes
makes invisible
those at
your feet...
When you revel
and hobnob
majestically,
at your peak,
the spray
of the waterfall
freshening
your face,
tired,
as you struggle
to enhance
your prestige
Remember
the one
who helped you cross
your bridges,
by throwing
itself across the creek...?

He who trims himself to suit everyone will soon whittle himself away. ~Raymond Hull

Great collection of photographs and words to live by.
Great photos, I like the water fall. Do youngsters jump from the fallen tree?

Now I know where the mystery has gone. It´s hidden in my eye...

The theme here seems to be integrity and hubris. All I can say is, if you're going to be nasty to people on the way up, grow a moustache on the way down.
