Well done!

I know what it's like to take the road less traveled/high road. Some folks have allowed it to be ingrained in their minds eye to look up, over and beyond.

Do we have choices? I believe so, but it's like this (for me.)

The high road verses the low road.

Both roads are good because they lead to the top. Each road has gold and gems along the sides. The high road is difficult but has more gold/gems. Why would there be more gold/gems on this road? Because it's less traveled so the bounty lays untouched, it just sits there and glistens. How does one know there are gems in them there hills in the first place? The sun refracts off of them and creates a prism/rainbow for all to see, all one has to do is stop for a second and look with a keen eye, and then be willing to make this kind of journey to acquire the goods.

The high road has magnificent views, but it's steep and craggy, it teaches sure footedness so one can avoid falling rocks.
"The Lord will be your confidence and will keep your foot from being caught." Psalm 3:26
"When you walk your steps will not be hindered and when you run, you will not stumble." Proverbs 4:12
Did I mention thorns? Bushes everywhere along the path, some are beautiful and some are not. (I planted a Beautiful Bush in my yard last year, it buds as I type.)

I just realized this thread is in original writing, hmm. I'll move my post if you like. I wasn't planning on quoting the bible when I started typing. <scratches head>

The low road. Easier of course, not steep, less crags and hills to climb, more people to hang around with, but less gems and expansive views are few.

It's the high road for me!

Are we allowed to quote other sources in original writing? I honestly don't know.
