Desert Journey by Alejandro Betancourt
A Story:
The dry and unfruitful journey almost entirely absorbed his strength. His body became absorbed in the wind, his mind in failure, his spirit in hopelessness. Until he reached safety, security, and rest; he regarded every step as a reward to fuel his happiness.
"Happiness is not tomorrow," he said. "Happiness is now. It is in every step that I take."
Many times he believed that he had reached his destination, but he was wrong, and he was obligated to continue. When he finally reached what appeared to be his destination, he felt relieved for finding protection and comfort, but he did not feel any more or less of the happiness that he felt with every step that he took to get him there.
"Happiness is now," he said. "I won't let it wait until tomorrow. Happiness is always now."
