Through mud and over hills

The traveler here crosses mud, water and hills, one danger after another, and then starts to think about going somewhere else again. The last line leaves this person far from home, with the road back still long.

This is a difficult lot. Its advice is to stop adding distance. More motion can make the way home harder.

If you are thinking of another job change, another move or another fresh start to fix a tiring situation, pause first. Work out what you would be carrying with you. Settle one thing where you are, and count what it would take to go back.
