\"Dawn<\/a>
Dawn on the River Corrib<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Written on hearing a talk about doing the Camino, when heading out the walker told us his favourite part was looking at the horizon and telling himself he would see beyond it that night. I though, thats the approach we need to have to life, hence this verse!<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

With the sun at your back at the break of the day
\nTo the west, the horizon, the walker makes way
\nStep by step and in time, that place out of sight
\nShall sleep in having walked beyond the horizon that night.<\/p>\n

Our challenges in life, are us stretching to yawn
\nWe see not the answer, as beyond the horizon at dawn
\nLet us rise to the challenge, let us meet and beat the test
\nWith the spirit of the walker as at dawn they head west!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
