If you just walk a few feet more the land will be fertile with everything you ever desired even if those in it may be hostile toward your previous steps. The land is just full of success and you can ignore “their” actions if you can walk those red steps. So you give in a bit to their temptation’s the steps are still red … but is that your blood and soul? Maybe the mountain on the other side which you gave to your brother appeared higher and rougher but actually had one truly bright spotlight. You’ve chosen your path and now it will be fertile but with your own blood as you crash down those stairs to the endless bottom.
FOOTNOTE- G-D help us all to see the spotlight through the mysterious clouds.
