The Road goes ever on and on
Down from the door where it began.
Now far ahead the Road has gone,
And I must follow, if I can,
Pursuing it with eager feet,
Until it joins some larger way
Where many paths and errands meet.
And whither then? I cannot say. -“The Walking Song” in The Hobbit by J.R.R. Tolkien
And as we wind on down the road
Our shadows taller than our souls
There walks a lady we all know
Who shines white light and wants to show
How everything still turns to gold, yeah
And if you listen very hard
The tune will come to you at last
When all is one and one is all
To be a rock and not to roll, not to roll -“Stairway To Heaven” by Led Zeppelin
The road ahead to your desired destination will most assuredly not be straight.
It will be filled with all kinds of twists and turns that you didn’t anticipate. There will be long stretches where you will lose sight of the road or other stretches where you will feel like the road never ends.
You will feel like giving up and going home, especially because that road back is very clear and easy to navigate.
But don’t.
Don’t turn back.
Be a rock. Don’t roll.
Onward brave one. Forge ahead!
