You are temporarily less dependent upon a map or on what others tell you. From a peak you can look back and see to your great surprise the wonderful progress you have made. Suddenly you see the wisdom in what had seemed aimless wanderings and useless diversions. You see how when it seemed your Guide had deserted you he must have somehow still been directing you because you took exactly the right route. You can look forward and see the exciting things you are headed for.
Life seems far more exhilarating and makes so much more sense.
You feel so different when you can see further. It s like night compared to day. So it is when you move from times when you can see God s love and goodness and closeness, to times when you can t see them. You do it all the time. You believe Abraham Lincoln existed.
