That for which I search,
eludes me once again.

If I knew the destination,
would I recognise the path?
I find myself sitting, waiting,
I lost the map once again.

My mind wanders,
my compass spins.
Could someone take my hand
to guide me through the endless jungle?


In such an ugly time, beauty is the real protest

I thought I needed a map for a long time,
now I'm just trying to enjoy it a step at a time...that whole live in the 'now' stuff
It's better than I thought...

enjoyed this

Sometimes, we need to make our own paths, not follow the ones made by someone else. Who knows if they were following the right one.

Be brave, strike out on your own adventures.
and remember,
the answer is always no, if you never ask the question.

Tracey.

The answer is always NO, Until the question is asked.

When my compass spins I have to remember that I'm getting in the way instead of just letting it be. Your words of frustration are very familiar to me!

...nodding in agreement....but do remember that it is the journey that makes the destination worthwhile...nice write...
