The long and winding road...

Sometimes all we can do is just take the next step and then the next and then, one more. We can see a dead end approaching. There seems to be no way you could go on. But, you must. And you do.

Then you are glad you did!

It was not just the greens by the side of this road that held you captive and mesmerised on the road. There was something more. And THAT was purpose! The climb is arduoous. The going is tough. And the vision limited. But simply going on gets you past the point where the road seemed to end.

You realise that it only SEEMED to end. The bend is just that- the bend! It is not the end. And the road will go on.

You will take the road and turn right around in the same direction that you came from. Just a tiny fraction of inclination that is different takes you to a totally new destination.

In life it is the small that carries the mystery and the wonder. In life it is the perseverance that bears the fruit. In life you MUST carry on.

And the signs are everywhere. It requires only the keen eye to see and attentive ears to hear.

Often we get lost in the beauty that surrounds us and forget to keep walking. You may stop. Rest. Drink some water from the little stream that splashes in front of you. But... you must go on...
