A New Kind of Happiness

by Steve Evans

As the passenger jetliner flew past eight of the ten highest mountains in the world, I knew I was in for an adventure.

To my left, looking out the window of the plane, I could see Mt. Everest towering high above the other mountains. It seemed close enough to touch if I could only stretch out my hand and reach through the glass. The plane turned north, into the mighty Himalayas and began its descent. We navigated the granite mountains, going deeper into the valleys. Sometimes the wings of the jet seemed so close to the valley walls I thought we would crash. Obviously others thought this too, by the gasps, oohs and ahs I heard from the passengers around me.

Suddenly the plane swooped around a hill and before us lay a beautiful valley with the airport below.
