About this audiobook

*Climbing Thoughts: A Journey Through the Egg of Heights* begins with Vernon Snell on an Arizona mountaintop, holding an egg in one hand and a phone in the other, attempting to make breakfast while accidentally creating a philosophical emergency. Moving between Washington Heights, Arizona, memory, technology, humor and art, the book transforms an ordinary egg into a symbol of consciousness, protection, possibility and creation. YOLK carries Vernon’s original language—raw, playful and alive. EGG preserves the useful parts of the digital response. VERNON’S COMMENTARY returns with context, responsibility and deeper reflection. Funny, intimate and unexpectedly profound, this Poetic Cinema Studio work asks what happens when the thing we create begins creating us. It explores pressure, misunderstanding, identity, despair, repair and the courage required to break through the shell. The final question belongs to the reader: What are you waiting to crack open?
