The shortest distance between pain and peace, [between what is & the fruitfulness of the morrow] is a rugged shortcut; an unattractive narrow path gated small, signposted; travail&obedience.
A steep elevation, hewn of solid rock; an ancient Roman road, weathered, yet * traveled few.*
Pay mind to where you tread. Be walked conditioned fit. & Foremost, relinquish all your baggage.
