A thought for a Sunday:
Imagine: You are walking along a beach. It is deserted. But then you come across some footprints that somebody created yesterday. They had no beginning , they just suddenly appeared. The sea hadn't swallowed them up. So you walk alongside those footprints. You are curious. You can see that they go a long way into the distance, so you decide to follow them. The beach is unending , it stretches further than you can see. Now, imagine that those footprints are your guide on your language path. You don't know where they will end , but by following them you are continuing on your personal path. Those footprints will guide you somewhere, they will accompany you , they will feed your curiosity.
You don't know if they will end, it's an adventure. A very slow marathon. Take your time, enjoy the breeze on your face, smell the sea. Absorb all you can from this moment. This is YOUR moment , YOUR path.
Wonderful writing, Brian, thanks for sharing :) It made me think about trust versus faith. Well, and this is just mine perspective, but for me trust would be seeing the footprints and following them... but faith would be NOT seeing the footprints but still walking the path as you "know" it's there and it's yours to take ;)
very beautifully written, thank you for this thought.
thank you both !
