These writings come from a crossroad in my life. I am not sure exactly what it was at the time, it just was. Each day we experience the choice to live in the present moment or worry about past or future conflicts . First thing in the morning, I try to be still in waking and make the choice to live for that day. Part of this ongoing process has led me to dig up some things I have written over the years and include them within this part of my journey. Would these be considered something of the past? Something to ponder, I suppose. I look it as the universe giving me a nudge in the right direction.

The Journey

 In the intricate

depths, mysteriously hiding,

Is the very person,

you are to become

 

Seeking life’s

momentous challenges,

opening up

the mesmerizing

whole, the sum.

 

The greatest obstacle you

face, is your own fear.

The gripping reality

of what living your life

means.

 

Unlocking door, with keys

found all around,

in obscure places.

Senseless as it sometimes

seems.

 

Once on that journey

of faith and truth,

although anxious, you

may be awestruck

by the light.

 

Settle into living

life, and loving yourself.

Honestly assess the process.

Spread new wings and

keep your goals

in sight.

Self Evaluation

 

The passion you have

Is only part of

what you were

positioned to

achieve.

 

The inward you

isn’t for everyone else

to examine, judge,

and try to perceive.

 

Judge only yourself

through the

looking-glass,

You may need

to modify

what you see.

 

Love all, “that,”

around you.

Only love,

can set your

soul and spirit

free.

 

Don’t take

things so literal,

for time here is

not a perpetual

pendulum.

 

Forgiveness

will work

wondrous miracles,

In your own life,

and that of others,

This is a

Given.

 

Remember,

you can only make changes

for yourself

and your life’s calling.

 

Be keen,

own your responses,

Attempt

Reacting to keep

others from falling.
