Can

Every time I climb a mountain the same thing happens. At some point I reach rock bottom and can’t push myself any further. I’m dehydrated because I never take enough water, the trip down is going to be slow and dangerous, maybe I didn’t lock my car, etc, etc…

I’m down on the ground despairing. The sun at 10,000 feet is crisping my skin with UV but I don’t feel warm. As I pull myself up to turn back I always see the same thing, an old can of beer. Where I lay beaten someone else treated this task as casual as stroll out to their barbeque.
