The Nature of the Humble Riddle
It was a challengingly, frosty morning in the Nepal Himalaya. One of those mornings on the trail where you’re simply focusing on putting onefoot in front of the other and using every last ounce of your strength to staywarm. The usual breathtaking scenery offered no solace, courtesy of the low-hangingfog, and the melodic sounds of high altitude were replaced by boots slushing throughthick, heavy snow. The next rest stop seemed uncharacteristically far away; nobodywas in the mood for talking and the thought of a warm dry fireplace refused tobudge from your mind. In the distance, a shadowy figure began to appear. AsI approached, it materialized into the form of one of my companions. Seeing thattrodden look in my eyes, he sensed that I must have needed to take my mind offthe drudgery.
“What goes up and never comes down?” He smiled.
I stopped, paused, and then looked at him blankly.
“What goes up and never comes down?” He repeated, before explaining simply, “it’s ariddle.”
He patted me on the back, and sent me forwards intothe fog. Suddenly, I couldn’t hear the rhythmic sound of boots anymore, thecold chill of the Himalayan wind had seemingly evaporated. My focus had turnedto one simple question.
“What goes up and never comes down?”
And thus is the power of the humble riddle; the ability todrive humankind to solve the unknown, to scope places that were previouslyunexplored, to draw the mind into another place of existence.

And as for “what goes up and never comes down?” – weekslater, on a warm summer night at home in South Australia, as far from the snowypeaks of the Himalayas as one could get, I woke with beads of sweat drippingfrom my forehead and shouted “My age!” With the anguish finally over, I fellcalmly back to sleep, with only pleasant memories of the Himalayan trek. The reminders of the painful, repetitive mornings were no more - allthanks to one simple riddle.
