“Bet you can’t see the river.”

This is not a photoshop.  Yes, there is a river down there. This is Tianmen Mountain in China. While I do not suffer from vertigo, just looking at this picture gives me vertigo. It is also a lesson in life for all of us.  Day by day we progress in baby steps.  Some days we surge forward a yard; other days we slip back a foot. And the next day another foot back. But, over the long run, we inch forward and every once in a while we take a moment to look back and marvel at how far we’ve come. Each of us started out at that river and though the pathway onward is crowded, like this one, we continue to inch forward. That’s life. But every once in a while, we need to take a look backward and marvel at how far we’ve come. [See my ‘different mysteries’ at https://authormasterminds.com/master-of-the-impossible-crime.
