Self Pity 2019

I would like to thank all the mountains I walked in 2019.

There is a poem I’ve left a note from a movie I saw in my early teens. Only recently I’ve come to think about its meaning.

Self-Pity

I never saw a wild thing sorry for itself.

A small bird will drop frozen dead from a bough without ever having felt sorry for itself.

— David Herbert Lawrence
