The greatest battles/ wars- are those fought in one’s own mind.
Sometimes over & over again.  Bridges you are forced to cross only to realize later you must backtrack  and cross in a different manner.
To humble yourself enough to consider another option-
one previously beyond and above your scope of perception or ability.
To then fashion a device that will carry you- this time over your obstacles instead of trekking through them; thereby  dredging the sticky matter and debris of that particular chaos with you to your next destination. --\
Which of course you will find is only more journey. Likely meant, at some point to be revisited by yourself in a higher consciousness.
