Resting at the Oasis

[OldBones-Larry]

After walking for many nights, I finally came to an oasis where the waterhole was not dry. I am going to rest here for a few days to regain my strength. I must also regain the will to go on. I have had to force myself to keep traveling several times.

 I have still not caught sight of the mountain. I can only hope that I am not walking in circles or that I am not on the wrong course. 

Maybe I wandered farther away while I was in Depression Gorge that I thought I had.

I must quit thinking things like that and stay strong. 

I WILL find the mountain and get there safely.

You all must stay strong in your journey across NML. There are many things out here that could harm you. 

Ol' Nic and his bunch will never give up on trying to lure you back into his poisonous clutches.

Keep a sharp eye out for his traps and watch out for his minions.

One step, and then another, will get you to where you want to be.

You will find your way, Larry...there are way too many people who need you for you to be lost.  Stay strong but also know that we will carry YOU if need be.

You may be the Caravan Master, but there are many here who have learned from you and can help lead you to the mountain when you lack food and water and your mind is wavering in the desert heat.  There are cairns all over the place.  Don't lose hope.  As you have told us often enough  "one step and then the next will get you where you want to go."  Trust that there a landing places all along route.  Some are not recognizable, but they're there nonetheless.  You WILL find the mountain and get there safely.  Remember to pause along the way and look up at the desert sky.  There are crystal stars above and they are glinting on the mica in the rocks below. Follow the starlit path and if it gets too dark, just stop.  And breathe.  Until you see the glinting again.
