Sabbatical Reflections: Words on a Page #15 The Climb

 


The Climb

One step at a time

One foot in front

What seems impossible

and beyond, 

can become reality

With one step

One foot following the other


Sit for a while.  It's okay.

Don't look too hard for the end.

Steady your gaze. 

Glance back!  

See how far you have come. 

The destination feels distant. 

Even arduous.


Sit for a bit.  

Then, begin again. 

Keep your eyes right in front of you.

Just one single. 

                        step. 

                               at. 

                                      a. 

                                                   time.

The climb.
