I have been watching The Sound Of Music. Tis a very cheerful, dear little movie, never fails to make me smile, no matter how many times I watch it. Only, this time, I registered the song 'Climb Every Mountain'.
The movie, despite all its optimism, has an open ending-- Yes, they have escaped the Nazis. This time. How shall they fare, climbing that mountain? Will they reach Switzerland? What happens, once they reach that country? Do keep in mind that there's a war going on. Today, I heard the answer: Climb Every Mountain.
You see, there are but few certainties in life. You do not know how you'll fare, once you cross said mountain. Hell, you do not know whether you shall cross it. But... you can not stay this side of the mountain forever, for fear of the other. No, all you can do is prepare yourself as best as you can, and forge ahead.
Everyday of your life, for as long as you live
Climb every mountain, ford every stream
Follow every rainbow, till you find your dream
A dream that will need, all the love you can give
Everyday of your life, for as long as you live
Climb every mountain, ford every stream
Follow every rainbow, till you find your... dream...
All we need is trust, that one day, we shall find our dream; that dream that will need all the love we can give.
I would continue, but I fear I can not find words better than the song. Read it again, this darling song, and again, and... you'll find something precious in those words.
I did.
