"It is not down in any map; true places never are." ~Herman Melville
Each man walks his own road....no one's path is ever quite the same.
All the directions have no map...some ways are gravel, and some are paved.
We learn the way as we go...stumbling over bumps and trouble's rocks.
Its a journey that forms callus feet and hearts....that can either save us or get us lost.
Hope's destination can seem remote and utterly beyond our reach.
Yet, if we read God's road signs.. .....we learn that each course was meant to teach.
I like this, and you're so right: the rough spots in the journey are the ones from which we learn most.
ReplyDeleteNice contrasts between observations, sometimes the signs go unheeded, but we have to keep moving forward.
