The beginner…

-Are you going to Marrakech the young men from Asni asked. We answered -yes we are. -Ok, you can go with my brother, he has a car and can drive you. Just sit down at the café and take a coffee and he will soon show up.

It sounded like a good suggestion so we took our backpacks and after a night in the storm and a avalanche tour at the foot of Jbel Toubkal we took our breath for a while. There was a little action, but not much in the small village, and after 30 minutes we started to wonder if the brother was going to show up. After 40 minutes i started to have doubt about  our ride. In the corner of the eye we could see a taxi started to be filled up, and at the same time we could see that our contact got a strange movement patterns. He was drunk, or full of drugs somehow. We grab our stuff and ran to the taxi and got the last places onboard. So in a Mercedes 200 from the 70s we where bound to Marrakech with 8!! others. The car did not have no or almost no shock absorbers. This on a mountain road, you can imagine what it was like. Soon the whole car was shaking out of laughter from all the passengers…But I was a beginner of climbing in Africa. And it was a great experience. And I think it is very important that we become beginners also when we got older. If you still want to live for real and learn more don’t avoid difficult situation, embrace them. You might fail, but that doesn’t matter, because it is not a failure you done before. You have developed – evolve. And since you are a beginner, you got a open mind. Our mind also become lethargic, so we cant se new ways to solve problem or challenges. When we don’t challenge our selves our brain, it will go on in the same ”speed”. Creative, well not so much..With this way of seeing the world, to learn new things – it will make the world larger, because we feel larger. So what will be your next step of largening your world?

  1. So very true👌👌
    Fun and good story Uffe😀. Memories from traveling in Nepal and India with similar experience come to mind reading this:-)

  2. Utmana, stanna upp och reflektera, njut av stunden och gå vidare. Alltid lär man sig något. Även dom största misstagen blir oftast roliga minnen, det tar bara lite längre tid.
