I have always understood there to be a balance in the world although from time to time, it appears the world can remain out of sync for periods exceeding one’s expectations. Many believe there is a God who keeps us in check although allows plenty of leeway. Others talk of a Force which may in fact be God. Some don’t believe in a deity and may have different understandings while, judging from history, a few too many in fact believe themselves to be a messiah. Whatever the case, a very complex subject indeed, I’ve just skirted over it by way of an introduction. I will add that the balance, or return to equilibrium, may take decades to play out but somehow it always does. Expressed more succinctly, the actions one takes throughout life result in consequences in the future. This could be almost immediate or as suggested, years down the track. For every action there is a consequence. Continues at end...
LAZAROW WORLD HIKE-ABOUT
South Africa: Devil's Peak: A bird's eye view of a section of Cape Town.
'LAZAROW WORLD HIKE-ABOUT: WHAT IN THE WORLD IS HIKE-ABOUT?'
Hike-about is an adventure that commenced June 2010. After storing our household movables, ridding ourselves of a house but retaining our 'home' together, we set off with the purpose of hiking in different parts of the world, not forgetting the home country, the USA.
Our primary focus is hiking to mountain peaks but any challenging hike will do just fine. Extended stays enable us to enjoy and experience living in various places amongst differing cultures. Hike-about has evolved into a way of life. It's also a process of discovery, both the world and ourselves.
We work and live 'on the road' but return to the city in which our grandchildren reside, every couple of months. This provides us the wonderful opportunity to be with them as well as a child or two, even three and of course, friends.
By the end of 2023, the blog contained over 1,560 hikes (less than that actually undertaken), each a set of pictures with stories and anecdotes from the trails. An index to the right allows the viewer to identify earlier experiences.
Finally, we are often asked about the journey's end. Our reply, as accurate as we can state, is: "When we are either forced to cease through health issues or the enjoyment level no longer reaches our aspirations, we will hang up the boots."
"A Life Experience As No Other: Dare to Seize the Day Together", published by Fulton Books, depicts our life on the road and mountains until the beginning of 2017. It has developed 'exponentially' since then.

J & J : From this humble (& Some say sheltered)) experience, there seems to be 1, only one “perfect”. .... In this, my World, the “perfect” is called “karma”. thank you for including me in your inspiring posts of your adventures. May you both be blessed with good health, good experience, and good karma : )))))
Dear Claudia,
You have a way with words and we are fortunate to read them. Thank you indeed. Your wishes, which are returned, are beautifully expressed. Have you run up Mount Humphreys yet, snow and all? Best wishes, Lazarow's
