‘Someone once asked me, ‘why do you always insist on taking the hard road?
I replied,
‘Why do you assume I see two?’

The question of choice is only about if it is the right road or the wrong road. All else is secondary.
When you have the right people with you and great invitations ahead of you, the road is remembered. Sights that will stay on in the memory for a long time.
The easy routes are forgotten. It is the hard roads and tough drives that make moments come alive.
There is a certain beauty to it. In the arc of the effort lies a sense of discovery. Not only of what lies ahead but what lies within you.
