"The Appalachian
Trail parallels life.
It has
 |
peaks and valleys, |
 |
joys and sorrows, |
 |
exhilarating times
and ordinary times, |
 |
sunshine and rain, |
 |
laughter and tears, |
 |
healing and pain, |
 |
and, as in
life, the trail has a
beginning and an end. |
Likewise, the end is a new beginning."
