My favorite trail partners: Yaks


Yaks on the trail are a reminder of the heavy loads that must be carried to find the success we seek: to cross the finish line, to hustle to the top of a mountain, to reach the end of a trail, to survive the end of life, to make it through a debilitating injury or loss…the list goes on. The yaks are like the friends we have who help us shelter the task of moving forward when exhausted, of hanging on when life looks hopeless,  of trudging onward against the wind and preservering through all odds. When I hear the bells announcing another yak train, I stand back in awe at these amazing creatures and the what they stand for.
