Lingering at a crossroads

Yesterday I rediscovered this encouragement sent from a friend.

Drawing: A path disappears into woods. Beyond them, the sun peeks out from behind a mountaintop. Text: Not everyone who lingers at a crossroads hesitates in indecision. A few bide their time and study the terrain. The visionary sees that not one of the cleared paths leads to the mountaintop. The seeker finds that nothing less than the mountaintop is enough. So in the quietness they ready themselves. Together and alone Listening to the hush that is God They hear when it's time. Then they set out To clear a new path.

Thank you, Jaylene. A decade ago, I found your words and your illustration delightful. Now, they show me where I am.
