When the road down the mountainside becomes too rough
When it all gets a bit hard to take
How can we go back?
Should we go back?
Back up the mountain to the peak ....
Look out once again
over the distant past
Think about the future
Isn't it wonderful that there is a future!
For so long, the future has been a grey cloud ....
A cloud that I hoped would end soon.
Now the cloud has lifted and the future
is a distant shining vista.
.... and while I'm on the mountain peak
I'll remember the place where each of us
cast away those things that did not serve us...
... and I'll remember the story that I cast away.
How the words of the story have dissolved into the ocean....
So perhaps it is wrong to think of the road being "down" the mountain?
Perhaps a better way to think of the way forward ....
... is that it is a flight!
The way to the future is by taking wing .... Flying
Leave the rough patches where they lie .....on the roadway below
While we fly above
The air beneath our wings is the care and concern that we have for each other ......
Lift me up my brothers!
