“Life is a journey” is a phrase so often used, but the ride is not always smooth or enjoyable. Often, the road is filled with a myriad of challenges and obstacles to be overcome. Sometimes the road forks and important directional choices need to be made. At other points, the life-traveller is faced with a deep valley of despair before the mountain of elation can be climbed. 

The journey of life is not always simple or easy.

“To love at all is to be vulnerable. Love anything and your heart will be wrung and possibly broken. If you want to make sure of keeping it intact you must give it to no one, not even an animal. Wrap it carefully round with hobbies and little luxuries; avoid all entanglements. Lock it up safe in the casket or coffin of your selfishness. But in that casket, safe, dark, motionless, airless, it will change. It will not be broken; it will become unbreakable, impenetrable, irredeemable. To love is to be vulnerable.”
