Life is a journey full of twists and turns. One minute you think you know where you are going and the next thing you turn the corner and the landscape is all new. Today I had a sense of where I was going and the view looked better than it has, things seemed clearer and I had a better sense of where I was heading.
Like climbing a mountain, sometimes the going is smooth and sometimes rough, sometimes the pace has to be fast and sometimes there is no choice but to go slow. The secret is to find the balance to know what to use, when and how.
The interesting thing about climbing a mountain is that you are not quite sure what the view on the other side is going to be and when you get there, often the rest of the mountain range is waiting for you. It seems to look a particular way in the distance but as you get closer it can start to look different. No rest it seems, but an ongoing journey with some respite in between.
Quite exciting if you think about it. The secret is to learn to be open to experience, to take things as they come and to tackle what comes your way in a calm and methodical way to ensure that an informed decision takes place.
Like the dungbeetle, sometimes the going is rough with bumps along the way as they tackle that growing mound until it is conquered and left behind while they move on to the next. Take the time to tackle that mountain of yours, one step and one breath at a time. The view on the other side will be well worth the climb.
Round and round
as they build up the mound
push and pull
until the shape is full
...of the bits and pieces...
picked up on the way
as they move along each day
Each playing a part
to get to the start
of the next part
of the journey...(Alison)
Good luck on your journey and don't become disheartened. Just regroup and try something different and then just carry on.
