There are many paths

Posted on May 2, 2011 | 19 Comments

*”There are many paths up the Mountain,
but the view of the moon from the top is the same.”

**Following the river seems the easiest at first,
Until the waterfalls only quenches your thirst.

Climbing the rocks the next easiest you decide;
But keeps pushing you back, because of the slides.

The thorny path looks like the hardest to pass;
Cutting all the thorns down you reach the top last.

You could have saved time measuring the feat
Sometimes what looks the hardest way up is
The easiest to complete.

One to make us stop and think.
Maybe I will take the railway to the top!

  Thank you. I notice your email address and wondered if you cut hair and to let you know of the strangest name for a salon I ever heard, across the street to a funeral home, “The Hair After”. Weird huh?

‘Sometimes what looks the hardest way up is
The easiest to complete’, I agree with you. Thanks for sharing your wisdom.

I just loved this poem.
Doing your research can ultimately save you time and effort.
Great way to express that sentiment.

  I wanted to use minute to minute exercises for the paths, but thought I’d have lost to much of an audience share.. lol
