Surprising Possibilities

Letter 4480

I saw no way to get from there to here. I was in a box canyon.

Yet opened a way I had not expected. Now I stand astride a high peak.

Now, how shall I return? I see no way from here to there.

Let me be open to another unexpected way-opening.

This has happened before.


Consider:

Can I be open to surprising possibilities?
