      THE WAY OF GHEE

      Struggling up another narrow mountain path, the pilgrims were heartened to see a craggy rock sticking out across the track ahead of them. What lay beyond was hidden from view, but they all hoped that this time this was it - this was the landmark that signalled the end of their journey. Of course they all knew that reaching the end would only be the beginning of their real journey, but at least the gruelling trek would be over.
