But I have discovered the secret that after climbing a great hill, one only finds that
there are many more hills to climb.
I have taken a moment to rest, to steal a view of the glorious vista that surrounds me, to look back on the distance I have
come.

But I can rest only for a moment, for
with freedom come responsibilities,
and I dare not linger, for my long walk
is not yet ended.
