Toiling Upward

The heights by great men reached and kept

Were not attained by sudden flight

But they, while their companions slept

Were toiling upward in the night

A woman I had never met 48 hours ago said to me: "it sounds as if you have climbed to the top of your ladder, but now you're realising it's up against the wrong wall".

..............

I am hoping that the commanding view will help me to see the right wall.
