Un percorso spirituale, sì, ma soprattutto fisico. Una prova alla fine del quale il corpo di Cheryl é forte, come non é mai stato forte in vita sua. Segnato, graffiato, tormentato, ma mai così forte. E così, il suo spirito.
Quello che non ti uccide, ti rende più forte, si dice. Il PCT per Cheryl é stato durissimo, sotto ogni punto di vista. Ma lei ne é uscita più forte. Fortissima.
Un libro che mi ha ispirato moltissimo, una storia di rinascita totale. Anche nei punti più brutti della nostra vita, ripartendo da se stesse, tutto si riesce a superare. Sarà dura, durissima, una sfida con se stesse. Ma bellissimo.

******************************************************************************
Every life is a path. In every life, we walk through a way, we change, we deal with rises and slopes, we walk under the rain and we enjoy the view in a sunny day.
Cheryl, in the moment when her life is at lowest point, makes a resolution. She needed to start again by herself. Who she is, what she wants, coming to terms with her mother's death. The answer is the PCT, the Pacific Crest Trail. A long-distance hiking trail, long 4286 km, aligned with the U.S. Pacific Coast. Finish line, Portland.
A spiritual path, of course, but most of all physical. A trial, at the end Cheryl's body was stronger, as it has never been in her life before. Marked, scratched, rough, but never before so strong. So, her soul.
What doesn't kill you, make you stronger, people says. PCT has been so hard, in every point of view. But she did it and she was stronger. Very strong.
A so inspirational book, a kind of total rebirth. Even in the worst time of our lives, starting again by ourselves, we can overcome everything. It will be hard, very hard, an inner challenge against ourselves. But beautiful.
