This Long Walk

And the man is restless.  

After traveling for many miles and staying put in his chosen residence, he still do not know the reason for his existence.  He is resilient in a way that he faces every challenge that goes along.  For many years, the battles he endured gave scars to his heart and body.  

And to make him stronger. 

It might be a needed respite from all the toils of everyday but still, he needs to continue along the journey.  The zest to live ignites no more.  His life is of climbing and crossing, of mountains and hills, of waters and earth, of bridges and of barricades.

And he is tired.  

Life is just routines of going to work and returning home.  As the sadness mount and loneliness creep,  he surrenders to the fact that life is depressing in many points.  That depression that he is feeling is eating him up. With all the smiles and funny anecdotes is a soul that is longing for a rest. His days has always been dark, and recently, morning sunshines are no longer part of his excitement. 

And he will still fight.

These struggles are nothing but temporary as nothing is given to us that we cannot handle.  That morning sunshine will be bright again as the songs of the birds and the scents of the flowers will linger once again to fulfill my senses. There will be hundreds more of bridges and staircases to cross and climb as there will be hundreds more of great things to unfold.  Change is inevitable and with change, comes something new.
