The Journey

An infant is born – the first cry, the first teardrop, the first drop of the mother’s life-sustaining milk. The human journey begins. What lies ahead is unknown, the mind, like an infant, not yet mature, wonders. The long road, paved with uncertainty, stretches before us, the horizon far ahead. A fog mystifies and obscures our vision. Mirages deceive the eye. Not knowing our destination, we are lost in a circle of perpetual spin. The mind triggers a dizzying journey. The rainbow enlightens; the clouds darken. Lightning blinds the vision, but the journey, with one step, two steps, three steps, slowly and surely begins.
