Beyond the walls, the story continues on. Turning a deaf ear to the cries for help will result in ruin and no one will be spared.
We all are still fighting our battles, on our own and with others. But the summit is near enough for the eyes to see it in full. Each step matters, be careful not to trip. Cut rations when necessary; tighten the laces on your hiking shoes.
Most of all, carry on.
Be heartened to know that just as ruin lies in wait for those who will walk away from the call, the greatest prize is at hand for you who with an unhardened heart will hear the cries, and with steely determination take the next steps forward.
Beyond the walls, the story continues on. And when the long journey has finally ended, home will welcome us back and rest will be at hand.
