After six months sorting and sifting through all the possibilities and grief, I've come down to something that is more practical and sensible and yet touches on my dreams and ambitions rather nicely. It took a while to get here, to first let the dreams and visions soar and then to bring it back down to what I really want.
I have learned enough to know that it's not always what we dream of that we really want. It's often and most often at that, a compromise that lands us somewhere further down on the mountain rather than dwelling on a stark and uncompromising peak yet within good hiking distance of the peak if we ever hunger for that higher level. However, most of us are more comfortable somewhere in between, which requires less effort, but has equally as stunning, albeit safer, views.
