What took you guys so long? You never listen to me. I told you to stay away from the wide open slopes. All the predators can see you. The gooseberry bush next door is the best way to travel. Takes a little longer navigating the spikes and thorns, but hey, it gets you up here without the worry of your life ending. Up here in God’s country. Where the sun shines and the nectar percolates from beneath the budding petals. The trip is gruelling, but so worth it when you make it to the top. Ant heaven. Peony buds. |

A lovely hike to God's country is a feat indeed, and we all need to navigate thorns to taste the nectar. What a beautiful, life-affirming take on the prompt, Ann!

Sometimes life can be an uphill battle until we reach the precipice that gives us the view and the food we need.
