I am looking out of the window of a runaway train<\/p>\n

The train has been switched on to a derelict line<\/p>\n

To avoid the Rapid Express Blue<\/p>\n

In just over fifteen minutes I will plunge<\/p>\n

Off of a viaduct much damaged by the recent floods<\/p>\n

Which is a pity as almost a year ago<\/p>\n

I challenged myself to walk 1000 miles in a calendar year<\/p>\n

As of today I have completed 995 miles<\/p>\n

Which leaves me just 5 miles short of my target<\/p>\n

So close but so far<\/p>\n

I can almost see the finishing tape<\/p>\n

God spoke to me as we passed through the last tunnel<\/p>\n

His instructions were so very clear<\/p>\n

I was told to sit snugly in my seat and close my eyes<\/p>\n

Which I am about to do without protest<\/p>\n

As I know that I am deeply loved<\/p>\n
