Sanwen
No. 52 · The Mountain Path
The verse
The mountain path winds and never climbs straight;
every loop still takes you higher.
What it means
Taking the long way is not taking the wrong way. If things move more slowly than hoped today, stay patient; every bend may be building experience that makes the road ahead steadier.
Something to do today
- Look back at something moving slowly, and note one thing you learned along the way.
