The Depth of the Struggle is the Height of the Joy


I was reminded today of a really rough patch in my life about nine years ago. I was rehashing it all with a friend and I said, “Damn. If I had known then that it would take almost ten years to work through all of that, I don’t think I would have made it.” It has been a huge mountain, marathon, or whatever other metaphor exists out there for a long, arduous journey. And now there is just one word that fills my mind like a prayer offered to the universe:  Wow. Wowow. The view from the top of my mountain is stunning.
