New Roads

A good man has heard the call of God and has decided to go away from his family to live and study in a far away place with others who have heard the calling.

His wife, children, brothers, sisters, friends and his aged parents are in turmoil; they are alternating between pleading and crying and screaming with anger at him to change his mind.

The man is sad for them but his eyes and mind are already seeking the new road that leads to the top of the mountain where the others are awaiting him.
