Good morning JTH - thanks for your beautiful essay and analogy. I'm inclined (mountain pun) to agree with you -- Your essay reminded me of this picture I think, for all the fog that we face, along the way we do acquire tools to help us navigate more easily. Some of the tools are consistently effective from mountain to mountain - some less so. 
The goal I have is to die having done something to be remembered by
The goal makes the foggy journey more meaningful, or at least more interesting.
