As The Angel and The Child neared the top of the mountains trail their curiosity at what they would find was as consistent as the beat of their hearts and their hope for the positive possibilities. Their desire for adventure was as strong as the pungent but calming smells of the forest around them. Ducking under a low branch they righted themselves and looked ahead unto a scene that both settled their self and stirred their emotions. The beauty of the meadow reinforced their belief in Him and awed them at the glory of God's creation.
However, as in reading the Holy Writings, they knew there was more than what just lay before them. They looked on to notice there were several paths that led in different directions and as with their will they had a choice. One path led off to the left and they could see it was a long trail through beautiful country. They felt they knew more about what lay in that direction and in their hearts longed to know more and experience the possibility of life along that path.
Another trail was just before them and parts of it seemed adventurous but The Angel and The Child felt very unfamiliar with most of what they could see of that trail. Yet another was new to them and it led towards some water and in it they could see a beautiful island. It beckoned to them and did indeed seem promising. Which path would The Angel and The Child take? Life surely held some magnificent adventure for them and they were very open to it. They knew they needed to prepare themselves well. They welcomed the opportunities and yet held the right amount of awe and fear at the field of possibilities before them. What treasures would they find along the way?
Before The Angel and The Child chose a path they prepared themselves and kept their eyes open for the chance of finding another.
