hux said, yup!

huxley asked me to "google" him a map of where mt. everest stands. so we went to the "top of the world", and we found a 360 degree panoramic pictorial of mt. everest that was taken from the top of mt. everest: twisting and turning into a never ending rocky, snowy boundlessness. not a town in sight!

hux commented that it reminded him of the neverending story, so we sang the song. well, mostly hummed it, and then "googled" the song, and sang along w/ a bit more memory and recall.

then we went back to mt. everest, the site spoke of the many folks who have tried to climb to the top, which lead to many, many questions from hux as to how we, he, i, or any of us for that matter, could possibly get to the top. we spoke about deathly freezing cold air, loneliness, fear, pain, darkness, breathing difficulties, hunger, fatigue, utter strength, knowledge, patience, teamwork, perseverance and the truth that comes from never, ever giving up despite fierce, howling winds that told many of the successful climbers to turn back.

he asked me if i ever wanted to climb mt. everest. we then "googled" the definition of boundlessness, and it stated, n : the quality of being infinite; without bound or limit [syn: infiniteness, infinitude, unboundedness, limitlessness] i told him that bringing sacred chow into being, for me, felt very much like the descriptivism we had used to detail the issues confronted during a climb up mt. everest, making it to "the top of the world" is not an easy task. i said that a dream and sheer determination, w/ a bit of caution, the right moves and a little luck, brings to life a sense of boundlessness. he then stated, in a strong, proud voice, dad, i want to be the first korean-jewish president of the united states of america, and a doctor and a baker too! i promised him that with his power and energy, his intellectual, physical, emotional and spiritual might, he would bring his sense of boundlessness to the world. i said triumph feels great. hux said, yup!
