DESTINATION UNKNOWN
AS I CONTINUE ON THIS TREACHEROUS ROAD, IT'S LIKE WALKING ALONE IN THE WOODS AT NIGHT WITH NO COMPASS AND NO LIGHT.
MOVING FORWARD ON THIS UNTRODDEN PATH, I CAN BARELY SEE, WITH THE MIST AND DARKNESS BLENDING TOGETHER.
THE FEAR OF THE UNKNOWN AND THE UNEXPECTED HOLDS ME CAPTIVE, KEEPING ME A PRISONER WITHIN MY OWN MIND. THE ONLY COMPANY I HAVE IS MY SHADOW, AND EVEN HE LEAVES ME AT DAWN.
WHERE DOES MY FINAL DESTINATION LIE? PAST THE HORIZON, THROUGH THE FIELDS AND VALLEYS, CROOKED ROADS AND DARK CAVES, OR IS IT PAST THE MOUNTAINS, ALONG A SMALL, NARROW PATH THAT LEADS TO A DEAD END?
MY DESTINATION IS YET TO BE KNOWN. THERE IS FAR TOO MUCH GROUND TO COVER AND NEVER ENOUGH TIME. TOO MUCH TO LEARN, TOO MUCH TO EXPLORE, TOO MUCH LIFE LEFT TO LIVE.
THE ROAD LESS TRAVELED IS ALWAYS THE ROUGHEST TO TAKE. AS A SOLITARY SOUL, I LOOK FORWARD TO FACING NEW CHALLENGES, CULTIVATING LOVE WHERE PAIN RESIDES, AND OFFERING FORGIVENESS WHERE SCARS AND WOUNDS ARE STILL HEALING.
