A Fleeting Moment of Glory

That which we seek is only a fleeting moment of glory. Every race, every route, every summit – we grasp and we aspire for what is JUST out of reach. Minutes, hours, days, weeks, months, years – all spent in search of that one transient moment. But a new goal replaces every success. We need to do something faster, farther, or harder.

How long should we bask in the glow and sense of accomplishment of what we have done? A second? A minute? A lifetime?
