Path to enlightenment

Shenandoah National Park Trails. Virginia.  There are many great adventures to enjoy atop the mountain.  And while it's no fountain of youth ( could have definitely been helpful), there are many paths that lead to enlightenment. And pray tell what great revelations are to be experienced on the 500 miles of trails and paths within the park? While feeling very small in the whole scheme if things... you can experience the biggest epiphany in your life. The meaning if life? Secrets of the universe? 
One, you're not as young as you once were. Two, donuts do not give you energy, despite the sugar. Three, stamina is not part of your physical being. Four, atop the mountain, higher in altitude, the air is thinner, it's easier to be out of breath (yeah, that must be it). Okay... okay... Being somewhat older, ever so slightly over weight, only marginally out of physical condition... Possibly, perhaps, ever so slightly have something to do with it all. Go figure.
