After wondering the desert for 40 years, Moses finally his dying eyes laid upon Mount Nebo...
Odysseus's Journey home to Ithaca which lasted 10 years...driven by his love, honor & duty...
Ibn Battutah whose travels by foot covered 120,700 km ( 75,000.00 miles)
Sir Ernest Henry Shackleton who after losing his ship to the ice's tenacious crushing grip....traveled 346 miles in a lifeboat & after 497 days AT sea...finally fell upon land...
Perseverance is what places one foot in front of the other on a journey of a thousand miles....motivates the oarsmen to dutifully pull the oar for the countless time against the unyielding current....the distant horizon seemingly no closer to a safe harbor....
So it seems the same arduous fate as befallen "California Caster"....
YET!!!....Here I AM!!!!!!....In ALL MY MAGNIFICENT GLORY!!!!
