Spiritual evolution is often likened to the journey up a mountain. So often in this metaphor, the story ends at the top of the mountain, as if when we reach that final peak it’s The End, roll credits, happily ever after. As if somehow we can freeze time on this beautiful peak and stay in that euphoria forever. The teachings that are so often skipped over in spirituality are of the descent back down the mountain. The focus remains rigidly on the light, and we are not taught how to love the dark.

I like to think it’s pretty clear that the journey cannot end at the top. Any mountaineer will tell you that, as much joy as there is standing on that summit, what goes up must come back down. And the down is often just as hard, if not harder, than the up.

But there is something incredibly pure about the descent.
