I’ve just got back from a beautiful weekend spent up in the Lake District with family. On Saturday I set off climbing up to the peaks Pavey Ark and Harrison Stickle, was a 5 and a half hour hike with some really hard scrambling up a long crevice, the sun shone and the views were mind blowing.
On the way down from the summit I stopped a short way down and I was sat looking out to the mountains around and I felt such an amazing feeling of accomplishment with myself and awe at the world around me. Nothing at all beats the feeling of ultimate tranquility and bliss I get when I’m so high up from the world in my favorite place. I sat for a long while and gathered my thoughts and cleared my head, which I had needed to do for so long.
It got me to thinking, I’d been to solstice at Stonehenge on Wednesday and had a wicked mix of top notch pills and mdma… but I defiantly was not half as happy as I felt up in the mountains…
Do you think drugs can ever make you feel as amazing as the world around us can? Is it all just a mimic in our minds that just cant match up to the moments of clarity we get from nature? Or am I just not getting the right drugs?! :groucho:
What do you do for your non-drug induced highs?
