Each step I take is new
There is no glue
No footprint
No pathway
Because my immediate ancestors walked as long
And as far
As they could
I SHOULD
Have paid more attention
To the lessons being taught
Or rather I should have learned
That they too were paving their own path
Trying to do the math
That leads to greatness
Or purpose
But it’s not quite adding up
The marathon of it all is long and winding
The pitfalls have been blinding
Causing temporary distress
With long term effects.
The diagnosis –
Self awareness
Reflection
Introspection
Movement forward
But what are we going toward?
The present moment awareness
Drives me further into my present day reality
Which feels unfamiliar
That territory is uncomfortable
It’s vulnerable
It’s a place – a space, full of possibilities
Where the unknown delivers a promise of blind faith
In my face
Forcing me to surrender and confront my fears.
Days filled with tears
Nights filled with joy
And laughter
This character I’ve managed to develop over time
Is mine to dismantle.
The irony of this awakening
Is the confrontation
The stirring of the proverbial pot
Juxtaposed to the paralysis of analysis that plagues my mind
In which I’ve managed to find
The heroine of my narrative
In my unwritten story
Where God gets the glory
Because He challenges me to believe
As I conceive
The possibilities surrounding my next
Life
Opportunity
The lifeline that drives my confidence and my ego at the same damn time.
It is mine
To conceive. Believe. Achieve.
That the battle will actually never be won
But it will be mine to lose
And choose
I shoot the gun
I miss the target.
I shoot again
I miss again.
Bullseye
I advance the the next level
New devil
Different game
New skills
More thrills.
More Life.
More Opportunity
Back in the race
Navigating with grace
It’s a place – a space
Full of possibilities
Where the unknown
delivers
a promise of
Faith
Toward more
Uncharted Territory
