Mount Sinai
There is no straight path.
You Zig your way
You Zag the other way
Zigzagging as you go along in life
Avoiding the pitfalls and perils.
The big rocks
The pebbles
The sandy wind
The blinding sun.
You stumble along the way.
Pick up yourself
Shake the dust off your body
Wipe the blood of your hands and knees.
You cry some
You laugh some
You ignore some
You wonder what am I doing?
Even the camels
Even the mountain goats
They are smart enough to
Walk, jump, crisscross in the
Treacherous rocky mountain.
Don’t be fooled
For there is no short cuts
In the mountain of life.
No short cut.
There are tremendous reasons
To place the blame. Be it people,
Situations, yourself, or anything
Or anyone. These are obstacles in life.
Unless you have a God
For your God
can make a straight path
For you.
Focus.
To follow a straight line can be very bad for us. Are not the zigzags that make us grow?
Good question. Thank you.
no straight path, no short cut…indeed! Brilliant, Seeker!
I am still tempted to do short cuts 🙂
Love this! 🙂

Beautifully written, Seeker. Pawkisses straight to you 🙂

Beautiful. God makes our path straight – I like that assurance. 🙂
Thank you, Imelda. You understand the parable. Pax, Perpetua
Beautiful!
Thank you.

the different lines
we draw
teach us a variety of lessons
Most definitely and I thank you.
“No short cuts in the mountain of life.” This is absolutely true. 🙂
I want to cut a tunnel or build an elevator in Mt. Sinai so that elderly people can that straight up pilgrimage. 🙂
If you could do that, you can be an invaluable help here at home, too. 🙂
Without the zig-zags and the ups and downs our life would be monotonous and boring. Excellent pictures and write-up depicting the theme.
Tee hee… to plain.
🙂
I love this, Seeker. Those zigzags are kinda fun, I imagine straight lines would be so boring
Boredom would kill me walking a straight line. Thank you, Miss Four Eyes.
