Walls…
Greeting dear friends & fellow navigators, & welcome to my world today. I was clearing out some old documents [again] recently & came across the following thought for my day, back then, & whenever I thought it was appropriate to keep it…
A tall wall looms in front of me. What is the view on the other side? How will it look? It is a view I could not see on my own. But perhaps, if I am not alone, I might. I know things did not go as smoothly at first, but I understood one thing: We do not amount to much on our own, but we can affect one another together. When people meet, this moment can change the world. I had forgotten what was important. I am not fighting alone. Unknown…
Yet, the wall remains. It does not falter, it does not crack under the weight of my frustrations. It stands tall, silent, as if waiting for me to decide if I will walk away or take the first step.
Once upon a time I thought strength came from doing it all alone. I wore my independence like armour, convincing myself, asking for help was a sign of weakness. But life has a way of
teaching lessons when we least expect it. A hand, or even a knowing nod, reminds us strength is not found in isolation. It is shared.
The wall was not the obstacle I thought it was. It is a challenge, yes, but it also holds a promise. A promise confirming if the right people are by my side, it can be climbed. Together, we can find the cracks to grip, the ledges to rest on. Together, we can reach the top, & when the moment comes, the view will not just be mine… it will be ours.
Life does not give us walls to defeat us. It gives us walls to test us, to push us to grow. And whilst the climb may feel overwhelming at times, it is also where we find courage. It is where we learn in reaching out does not make us weaker; it makes us human.
So I learnt, I no longer had to do it alone! There is strength in the people around us, & it is empowering to be accepting their help. Every step, every slip & every hand extended will
make the view from the top so much more meaningful.
The walls are not meant to stop us, but to remind us moving forward will shape us in ways standing still never could. The climb will change the view not just ahead, but within.
You are not fighting alone!
Fly high dear fellow navigators…!
Just few observations again dear friends, & provide an opinion in my world. Thank you for stopping by, I appreciate your being here. If my journey encourages you also, all is well with my soul.
Looking forward to next week; this is Kenn Butler in Paradise, Nelson with best wishes.
