It's like a movie where the main character is out in the wilderness trying to find her way to the place she belongs. She can see the place way over on the far side of the valley. There is no other way to get there except by placing one foot in front of the other and moving forward. It has been taking quite some time. She has endured a number of various conflicts along the way, and has encountered numerous people, some who have been friendly & helpful. But she is driven to move forward thinking that the other side of that valley is where she truly belongs. After slipping down a steep forested slope she comes to the edge of a cliff. The valley is spread out in front of her....but seemingly 1000 feet straight down. There is no way to get down that cliff. She has come to a dead stop in her journey and she feels there is nothing more she can do. She sits down right on the edge to think. Her journey has taken up so much of her life and she is so very tired of traveling. She seriously considers falling forward a bit and ending it all. It would be so easy. She also remembers with fondness some of the people she had met, the ones who had been so very nice and encouraging and helpful. She could pull herself away from the edge, go back up to rebuild her life a bit differently. Death? Or give life another chance?
