The Boat
On my path to the great distant mountain peak, I came to a wide river. Looking far to the right and
the left, I saw no
1 , and pondered how to cross. Suddenly a pretty little
2 appeared, came to the
shore and offered to take me across, to
3 me in completing my journey.
The trip started
4 , and I was pleased with the little boat, and
5 for the assistance it provided.
There were a few areas of
6 waters, one that even spun us around a few times, but presently we
reached the far
7 .
The trip had been so
8 , my gratitude and happiness so full, that I
9 to leave that little boat, even
though I knew I must, to continue my journey. Much as I wanted to
10 , to spend more time drifting on
the river in that little boat, the mountain beckoned (举手招唤), and my
11 had been set.
As I
12 my journey, I kept looking back at that little boat with deep
13 . It had been so
pleasant and had
14 me across the great river; I had grown to
15 that boat deeply. Yet I knew that
the boat had its
16 in the river, and that it couldn't follow my path to the mountain.
17 I tried to take
that boat along, it could not have made the journey with me, and would have stopped my own
18 .
And as I watched, the little boat turned around and went back to the far shore, there to assist yet
another
19 the path to the mountain. And I realized how"all
20 together for good", for each part of
this magnificent universe perfectly plays its role in assisting all other parts.
