Beyond is a place and an idea. It's where courage enables the inner voice of vocation to lead us. Beyond lies over the ridge invisible. It sits hidden within the forest that blankets the horizon. Beyond is a physical place to seek out and explore the nuances of topography and nature. It is an idea that takes thought and self-realisation to new peaks of illumination amidst complexity.
Beyond can be many places, for travel may take any direction and extend near or far. But it's one family of ideas, which are directed towards growth of personality through enlightenment. One may chase hither and thither after such an illusive idea flow, which meanders like a river yet darts like a swallow. There is one horizon, and many ways to reach it.
Onward, beyond the familiar blossom and berries of the neighbourly hawthorn. Over the wheat field, down the hill, and through the known paths of the near woods. Through the veil represented by a curtain of rain, which blurs the view and yet cleanses too. On into the mysterious world beyond, whose details will sharpen beyond the shroud of unknowing. Beyond is an idea and a place, and each sends a thrill through the traveller who has already taken the first steps.
