Traveling

After I left the cave where I was trying to regain my balance and center myself once more, I began moving down the gorge.

I found an area of the wall that wasn't as steep as the rest. I thought I heard something above the normal sounds of the desert. 

It sounded like voices so I began climbing up the wall.

It has been several days now since I began this climb and as I looked up last night I thought I saw the glow from a fire.

The sounds have become stronger and I think there was some music playing.

I will keep climbing and I will reach the top.

Depression Gorge will be left behind and I hope never seen again. 

I will do my best to not trek into this area of the desert again.

Keep your journeys strong my fellow travelers. 

You can get across the desert of NML if you keep traveling toward the mountain in the distance.

One step, and then another, will get you to where you want to be.

About the Author
I am a male that underwent coronary artery bypass X3 (triple) on 10/22/13 at the age of 55. I was living on about 20-30% of one coronary artery and my left heart output was only 20% to 25%. I spent a week in the hospital after surgery and went home. Then had to go back a day later for another week because I had pneumonia. Finally a few days because of a slight arythmia. All told it has been about 2 1/2 weeks. I am past the cravings by now and only have the urges to contend with. I really don't suggest that anyone quits smoking using this technique though. I'll have to carry the scars from that day for the rest of my life. The large one down the center of my chest, and the ones from several "silent" infarctions. I came that close to the next world. Never again will I subject my body to that (at one point in my life I was smoking 5 packs of cigarillos a day). I now have to say N.O.P.E. (Not One Puff Ever) every day of my life.
