Each journey the soul
travels takes her higher.
There are journeys
that are painful, because there is struggle. Struggle to wrestle out of one place to reach another,
struggle to discern the good from the bad and put each in place, struggle to face ugliness and replace it with beauty. But
in each of these, a sense of purpose overwhelms the pain and brings its own joy.
Then there are journeys
that seem to have no purpose. Where nothing appears to be accomplished, all seems futile. There is no
medicine to wash away the pain.
But every journey the soul
travels takes her higher. It is only that in some, the destination is a place so distant, so lofty,
she could never have imagined. Until she arrives.
