Eudaimonia
The mountains deliver. A good summit, a hard day in real terrain, the silence above the clouds — these
things are not nothing. The Greeks called it hedonia. Happiness from the outside. It's worth pursuing. But
it fades. You know this already.
A shattered femur, two weeks after my child was born, took that away. What stayed was what nine years in a
Tibetan Buddhist hermitage had quietly built: something the Greeks called eudaimonia. Happiness that
doesn't need a mountain to stand on.
I'm Gabriel Mazur.
Just One Step is the mountains, the inner landscape, and the space where they overlap.
A ridge you read about. A peak your grandparents mentioned. A valley no one visits. Or the quieter thing — a mind you want to understand better, an inner landscape worth exploring.
