Rove On
A new horizon became visible. The little rover had reached the top of a different crest and could see further than before.
Still, there were higher peaks to be seen in the distance. Places yet to see, new things to learn. The landscape was wide and vast. Bigger than the eye could perceive. Larger and more intricate than the mind could imagine.
"If only there were a map", thought the little rover, surely someone had been here before and marked some significant way points. But then perhaps there would be no exploring or true first hand knowledge, the real learning that is required if one is to understand these things.
The rover continued almost blindly, leaving tracks slowly behind. Toward what the rover did not know, maybe another vantage point, maybe just a little higher.
