Hailing from Southern Ontario, Griff is captivated by the mountain scenery that surrounds Flagstaff. The ability to stand atop a mountain and gaze at the world below is an opportunity that isn’t afforded to everyone, and Griff is eager to remind me of this from the moment he arrives.
To catch up with an old buddy is always a treat, but to
rekindle the flame of friendship while ascending a hill is just spectacular. It
is already surreal to see someone from a prior life, but the bonds of years
past are truly intensified as the world shrinks below us. As cars, buildings,
and people become small enough to fit onto the tip of my pinky, the world is
put into perspective like no other experience can replicate. The mountain
reminds me what is important, and as Griff and I contemplate the past, present,
and future, the placid, tranquil surroundings confirm that the world has stopped so that he and I can take
this moment to appreciate our brief time together.
