When life is chopped into sets of time
How do you spend it?
What do you do?
Does it matter?

You can see where your choices are going to take you?
Avenues and paths
Some through the countryside
And others between narrow walls with moving spikes,
If you get cut it hurts

The problem with windows is they are windows
They only reveal a small part of the picture
And give only a partial glance to your paths
And leave plenty of room for surprizes

So as you glance at a few paths through your window
Which do you choose to walk on?
Travel?
Live by?
Serve?

This is when the blocks come in.  
Are you comfortable with leaving comfort to the unknown?
All for the better
Or do you go where its eeeasiest?
Slide around on the plains of life
Even into the cracks, occasionally the traps

If your block is too big would you be willing to shave it?
To follow narrower paths?
Hard paths?
Where you don't move very fast and never without limits.
And sometimes you have to wait with very little creativity
But, rather with obedience to your limits
And patience for your window,...
Or hole in the wall
Perhaps even a door,
Or a larger window

Corruption is caused by holes in obedience to God.

I feel an Honorary Doctorate of Philosophy is in order for this one, Craig. The flow is fantastic; the meaning is resounding. The writing is becoming very fine-tuned, and I love it, not to mention relate to it in a most magnanimous way. Kudos, putz...lol!

Wings bruised from turning away in such confined space...Not broken...still healable...still feathered with life, somewhere

You're crazy...  I feel like a flaming comet.  Entering to its final resting place if it doesn't burn out first.  lol.
