Different paths, same direction

I recently climbed a mountain I had climbed a few times before. Only, it wasn’t the same mountain. The start and finish were the same, and most of the trail was the same. However, one crucial part of the trail had been washed out, and the trail was diverted elsewhere.

While we may seem to be traveling the same path, it’s never the same path. There’s always some sort of subtlety that makes things different. It could be something like the weather, or something as big as the path itself. Either way, what matters is that you keep going until you get there.
