The road is long. To which there is no return. Leading no where, who knows where. This is part of the lyric from the song 'He isn't heavy. He is my brother'.
It is very true that the road of life is a long and winding road. The word 'long' in this song does not mean that a 100 years life span is long but it is long because of its meaningless purpose. If you have a purpose driven life, you will not feel long because you enjoy your days and nights.You cherish every moment and life became short.
The word 'winding' means uncertainty. You cannot see the next turn. It could be another straight road ,a uphill road or a down hill road or a cliff which could spell an end to your life. It is supposed to be a mistery to give life a challenge.
When we look at an elderly man, we can see the mirror of our self but most of the time we focus on the young and beautiful. We refuse to see the 'future' us but choose to live in unrealistic world of forever young. We fake to live a better day amd in a make belief world.
We have to wake up by pinching our self and return to reality. What we do not see does not mean it do not exit and what we see may not be real or the truth. When we go hiking, usually we follow a path. An experienced hiker will tell you that the path looks different at different times of the day and under different seasons. The color of the leaves will change and it is a whole new vision or picture . If we step a little left or a little right, the path again will change drastically. It is a good example of what life is. Changing at every seconds and minutes. Some time, We can see some light but most of the time, it is pit black.
This is life , a long and winding road.
Namaste.
E path looks different time of the day.
