At 2 miles in the wind off the lake was making the trees groan and the rain stung my face. The voice of reason said turn back, determination shouted it down. Not today. I will not stop. At mile 3, soaking wet and cold, I met a beautiful turtle along the trail. As I sidestepped him and wished him well on his journey his message rang clear in my addled brain, "It's not the speed, pace or distance. It's the journey".
The finish line is not an end, but the starting point for another adventure. Beautiful gleaming little turtle, thanks for the lesson. Safe journeys.
As I strolled out of the woods, the sun broke through, as though smiling down on me and saying "Now you understand"
Love and Peace....
