It was the end of this part of the trail, perhaps, but the trail itself goes on, and, hopefully, I will meet you on it again someday.<br /><br />I find myself wondering if you found clarity on these weighty issues as you meditated before the dolmen on your last day. I find that clarity comes and goes on these matters, but there is more clarity at the end of an exhausting physical challenge than there is in our day to day lives.Georgehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03959953035812596907noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8319797996494487653.post-82730394025173264632012-06-16T11:42:49.594+01:002012-06-16T11:42:49.594+01:00Thanks, Ruth.
