Throughout the generations, there have always been people who
were extremely gifted at what they do. Artists, musicians,
scientists, engineers, inventors, athletes. If you think briefly,
you can probably name someone from each of these categories. But
all of these people have one thing in common. None of them started
out that way. Albert Einstein is credited with giving us the theory
of relativity, but it’s unlikely those were his first words.
Michelangelo may have been an amazing artist, but his childhood
works weren’t all that different from other children his age.
Abraham Lincoln and Ulysses Grant failed at virtually everything
they did until finding the things they became famous for.
All of these great people, and all of the people you interact
with every day share in common a humble beginning. No on starts out
an astronaut, or a surgeon. They start out as newborns, and the
decisions and choices made by their parents, and later their own,
shape their lives. The decisions we make, the good ones and the
bad. The mistakes, the choices which we make correctly, the truths,
the lies. The paths we take and the ones we don’t all bring us to
where we are now. What we do now will shape our tomorrow.
Regardless of whether you are a creationist, or an evolutionist,
the place you stand on now was once a lifeless rock hurtling
through space. As a beginning you can’t get more humble then that.
Yet here you stand at this place, no doubt marveling at the beauty
you see before you. Humble beginnings can lead to truly awe
inspiring things, given enough time and patience.From those same
humble beginnings, remarkable people can do spectacular things,
given the same elements of time and patience.
The posted coordinates will take you to the entrance of the park
office. You must check in to receive the final coordinates to this
cache. While listed as a multi, this is a simple cache. The terrain
rating can change depending on whether the road to the overlook is
open to vehicular traffic or closed. I have rated it assuming it to
be closed, but it the road is open, the terrain changes to a 1.5.
While you are here, enjoy the beauty that is the Texas Hill
country.
