Day 47a: The long road to Freedom … (05/31/2019)

“I have walked that long road to freedom, and while I have tried not to falter, I have indeed made missteps along the way. And yet during this walking I have discovered a great secret — that after climbing any great hill, one always discovers that there are many more hills on the horizon; always many more mountains to climb. Yes, I have often taken a moment here & there to rest, or to steal a glimpse of the glorious vista that surrounded me, or to look back upon the distance I have come. And yet I can only ever pause for a moment, for with the renewed freedom to act always comes a great union — of opportunity to walk on for others combined with the moral responsibility to do so, and as such I dare not linger long, for my long walk is not at all ended.” ~ inspired by Nelson Mandela
