What is the secret of fidelity?

What makes a commitment endure?

How does one not get distracted from one’s path?

How does one not waver after a while?

Steadfastness is an ongoing struggle

The destination is always far away

And no matter where we are on the path

It will remain in the distance

Temptations and distractions abound along the way

One cannot always close one’s eyes to them

Vigilance is needed

Daily effort is needed

The goal is lofty

And the climb ongoing
