Though the incline is great
My steps must remain small-
Looking too far ahead
Will tempt my feet
To move faster
Hindering any chance
Of reaching the summit-
Yes, the mountaintop calls
Its majestic views providing
Inspiration and opportunity
But it is not the place
For putting down roots-
Besides, the powerful effects
Of a higher altitude
Allow only for short visits-
Time enough to gather
Images and lessons
Meant to carry me
Back down into the valley
Where rich soil waits
And love continues to grow

This reminded my of the book, “Hind’s Feet on High Places” by Hannah Hurnard

Years ago I taught a class for younger women, teaching them sewing basics and that even being able to mend clothing can be a real blessing to your husband and children. Anyway, I read this book to them while they sewed.
