[ A new LOVE ]
I've secretly fallen in love. It happened at first sight. It is a love so great and so pure, I have wanted to keep it to myself. A bit shy to do anything about it, I tried to conquer the object of my affection early in the morning a saturday or a sunday a couple of weekends ago. My husband came along not knowing of this love that burns inside me. We walked together until we found a small entrance among the trees and started our climb. We were literally climbing up a ladder made of rocks going up a mountain in the valley that holds the city of Valencia.
About 15 minutes into the climb I felt my breakfast coming back, and the realization of how out of shape I am. We stopped for a few minutes, but tried climbing again in our little zig-zag. I had to stop again and catch my breath, while my husband picked up a cigarrette and lit up. We continued a third time until it started to rain. We stopped, turned around and saw the beautiful city and heard the cars so close by, yet we were so far away from it all. But I could not go on any further. I tried, but could not go on, we started our descent, though my husband wanted to continue.
The descent wasn´t as challenging as the climb, but it does require some skill. A set of skills I am willing to learn. I tried to conquer the mountain and the mountain conquered me. What the mountain doesn´t know is how stubborn I am. So another weekend when I will try to see it all, the mountain and the amazing view it offers.
Until then, every day I drive around in awe of the gorgeous frame that holds Valencia.
