Some things are black and white but as in life, the grey areas are much more plentiful.
Do I let the mountains hover over me, do I take a straight road or the winding one? What will the road I choose bring to me?
One never knows what lies ahead. The choices one makes, no matter how well thought out, can bring surprises that you may not be prepared for, or well made preparations may not be enough.
So then you stop. You reassess your surroundings. Do you need to climb this mountain? Will it deplete your fuel, your entire resources?
You stay still and ponder. Is this the best road? Must I go back? Do I proceed and if so in what direction?
And then you know. Your answer is not black and white. It is still grey, but you know without a doubt that whatever may come, this is the best road for you. and you make your move.
The obstacles in your road become monuments of beauty as they reroute you into places you never dreamed you would ever ride.
