Onwards To The Top Of The Mountain.

0 6 9

142 days into the journey.

The wise hermit at Carps Cave gave me directions to get to the top of the mountain. The route is pretty simple, but will not be easy traveling. I must reach the waterfall ahead and go to the left. From the waterfall I must travel the winding pathway upwards. I am told her home is at the very peak of the mountain.

Once I reach the top and can see her home, the Old Goat should be able to see me. I was told she will signal me to approach her home when she is ready to impart her wisdom.

Once I have seem the elder of the mountain, I will be ready to return across the desert for another caravan. I will check on everyone that is traveling the desert as I am returning. Those in need of assistance will be a great concern to me. I wish their trip to be successful. Nobody will be lost at the wayside if I can prevent it.

There is the home I seek. I must now wait here to be signaled to finish the journey upwards. This has been a long journey, but it has been worth every hardship encountered.

I await the goat.........

One step, and then another, gets you to where you want to go.

Hugs and love to all.

Larry the Caravan Master

About the Author
I am a male that underwent coronary artery bypass X3 (triple) on 10/22/13 at the age of 55. I was living on about 20-30% of one coronary artery and my left heart output was only 20% to 25%. I spent a week in the hospital after surgery and went home. Then had to go back a day later for another week because I had pneumonia. Finally a few days because of a slight arythmia. All told it has been about 2 1/2 weeks. I am past the cravings by now and only have the urges to contend with. I really don't suggest that anyone quits smoking using this technique though. I'll have to carry the scars from that day for the rest of my life. The large one down the center of my chest, and the ones from several "silent" infarctions. I came that close to the next world. Never again will I subject my body to that (at one point in my life I was smoking 5 packs of cigarillos a day). I now have to say N.O.P.E. (Not One Puff Ever) every day of my life.
