When the fog is so thick,
That it blinds you,
And you can’t see the path ahead,
Walk forward anyway.
It’s just gloom, not a Gate that blocks your way,
And what else is there to do
but walk?
You came here searching for something,
And you haven’t found it yet,
Or may be you were running from something,
But you haven’t gotten anywhere,
Both viable reasons to come here,
And you have come too far to walk away,
So walk.
When you are lost, the only way
Is to keep walking until you find your way.
Eventually, you get where you were going,
Or sometimes you get someplace better,
That makes the journey worth while.
It’s about the journey anyway,
So walk.

There are always cross roads like these we are faced with. And like you said it’s always important to still keep going, no matter what path you take. Xx

Brilliant. You tapped what goes inside the mind in the quest for our identity and it’s human to look for something when it’s with us. Intense, sensitive and beautiful. Only a mind capable of love can flesh this master piece of words.

An excellent foundation for the concept that the importance of a journey is not in arriving at your destination but rather in making the journey. Beautifully written!!
