It ended in a crash and a cold reminder that this was only the beginning of future difficulties. A carful approach is needed and there are bigger challenges to come. Though the challenges are daunting and the path treacherous, if taken slowly and given respectfully, the future may still be beautiful. However, though the looming goal has its beauty, it is important to also prepare for greater difficulties when there.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This painting is a reminder of these concepts and more.
