Life....a rambling morning.

 “Life is complex.
Each one of us must make his own path through life.

 There are no self-help manuals, no formulas, no easy answers.

The right road for one is the wrong road for another...

The journey of life is not paved in blacktop; it is not brightly lit, and it has no road signs. It is a rocky path through the wilderness. ” ― M. Scott Peck

Do we make our own path through life?

or

Do we propel along

on the breath

of someone else

who told us to

take this road,

walk this way,

hop this way,

turn right, turn left, go straight.

I spend alot of my own

"head" time

wondering

how

"we"

get to where we are

why our paths cross and intertwine

how we move in a pattern

undefined by us

and

wonder

is it defined by "Someone" "IT" "Them".

Is our life

a series of undefined

predicaments

or

are our pathways

under girded by a series of

providential happenstancial situations?

I don't have the answer

can't unlock the rhyme

but

I listen

intently

shuffling

to the beat of

my own drum

protect

myself

with my own thick skin

and

move

step by step

over

unpaved roads,

hilly crests

and

walk

step by step

toward something

undefined

that I do not understand.

One day

real soon

when I don't even expect

I suspect

IT will happen

that moment in time

when the path

often traveled alone

will intersect

with other like minded souls

at

a place

filled

with

the

SHINE of LIFE

and

there

in that place

I will finally

feel

safe enough

good enough

smart enough

enough enough

to

know I am enough.

rocky crest just ahead,

I pull the hood over my head

move

bent over

as the wind

blows against my body

hard step by step....

I trod toward IT....

not listening to

those

who yell

to  me

"take the easier softer path"

...

they don't know

I don't understand that way...

so for today...

just for today

I will walk

talking my own path

listening

to the

beat

and

enjoying the climb.

don't get all caught up on the rough terrain

move on forward

believe in your stuff

i am enough and so are you

.....

Have a great day

regardless of where you stand!
