Glasshoppper, the journey to the mountain's peak is long and filled with sights, smells and sounds. If we live only for the moment we reach the peak, the joys of the path might be lost to us forever. If we lose sight of the peak, we may nestle upon the nearest green plateux, never to venture out of it's comfort-area. But it depends on our goal. If the wonderful view from the top really justifies the coldness of the peak then we will continue on. If your destination is a warmer, green plateux, then it is not a bad place to live. It's all about being able to enjoy each stage for the fine qualities of each and knowing what you ultimately want.
The journey to the peak is long /
Filled with sights, and smells, and songs /
If you live just to reach the peak /
Your spirit dies, the path is bleak
Neglect to gaze beyond the trail /
And the will to forge ahead may fail /
Upon your goal the path depends /
Never straight, it always bends
The harshest climb is soothed by hope /
If faith endures, you'll scale the slope /
But don't forget the joy of now /
A 'why' is void without a 'how'
FIFY.
