It's a long way to the top if you stop to smell the flowers. Though the path on a may seem like single journey, the path up is numerous. Each of us differ in which path we take. Where one stomps up relentlessly, one can also veer off to winding routes filled with flowers to delight their senses.
We must not forget however that each one travels up the mountain though with different outlooks on how to get to the top by the walkers steps taken. It's the cliche, it's not the destination but the journey. Whispered in the breeze, soft yet unrelenting.
Though the top may seem like the end, who knows it may just be a peak leading onto another mountain. The path to the top of the mountain therefore may just be another beginning to a larger journey. With differing routes taken by each and all that walk up this mountain.
There could even be paths less taken with longer winding trails filled with other delights extending ones journey. But remember, they all lead to the top. How and at what state one reaches this to also determines what happens when your foot finally steps on the peak.
