Thick and Thin


On a recent hike on the Appalachian trail we came to a section of the trail that goes through the Great Swamp.

I have been thinking about this picture for a while and have thought about just how much it can reflect our own life journey.

No matter how high and dense life can become we must keep going. But what path do we choose?

Sometimes those who came before us lay out the path for us, but still many head into the thicket.

They try to make their own way in the thicket, not realizing that the thicket just brings suffering and hardship.

The road to Truth has been laid out before us.

The thickets surround the Truth and leads nowhere.

Above all we still have to carry on.

Yes, there might be a load on your back, created by your very own thicket adventure, but you still have to carry on.
