Walkabout
~~~
We take a path in life
Neither straight nor flat
Life you see is not
So simple as all that
~~~
A snake of turns and twists
Going uphill and down
Sometimes it is bedrock
Sometimes shaky ground
~~~
There are places we can run
And times we must crawl
There are days full of sun
And those when rains fall
~~~
There will be choices made
That guide our next turn
And in every step we take
Valued lessons are learned
~~~
This is not a race
Distance is not the test
The only thing that counts
Is we walked our very best
~~~
Yes, we’ll said. Onward.
Thanks Beth!

Thank you Francisco!
You’re very welcome my friend!
wonderful, inspiring words, Brad!
and if we fall, we need to get up again…
Thank you Jim!
This is beautifully put my friend. It brings to mind when I use to hike when living close to so many wonderful places to hike not too far away. Everyone was always so eager to get to the top. Finally I realized that I would make my own pace as I was enjoying all the lush beauty on both sides of the thin trail. Your piece is a lovely reminder of how that is so true of our lives as well. Sending love and hugs to you always, Jonikens
Thank you!

The greatest reality show is life. Everyone has their own story.
Thanks Pete! Remembering that is where compassion begins.
