The Road


When the road stretches out, we often run, hoping to reach the light on the horizon.  It is rare to find the soul who stops to consider the well-worn path and where it leads.  For on that path many have run until there was nothing left in the heart for anything but the next step forward.

No struggles of their brethren do they see.  No gifts of the glorious day are captured by their eyes.  For their eyes are fixed on an ephemeral goal that will never satisfy the longing in the hearts.

For what they hear is the call of God.  It is a burning light in their heart that cries to be replenished.  The only way to ease the longing is to stop on the path and consider the world around.

Remove your gaze from the distance and look within.  Solace, serenity and wisdom beyond all understanding lies on the path within.
