Meditation 7 (to walk)

to walk



to walk
i first must rise

i lift my foot

and

then step
        in fear
then step
        in courage
then step
        in sorrow
then step
        in joy
then step
        through disease
then step
        into wellness

then step from brokenness

        into wholeness

each stride
            a balance

failures
           then achievements
frustrations
           then encouragements
disappointments
           then fulfillments

my course

          this journey

acts of will

          of circumstance

providence and chance

          guide me along


in the motion,
in the stillness of progression,
i am a clear stream, 

finally aware.

    To walk... this is an wonderfully real outlook on walking. With every step, there is something to face, to see, to feel. The last paragraph especially-was highlighted, "In the motion, in the stillness of progression, i am a clear stream, finally aware"... inspiring words.
    Thankyou for you're encouraging words.
    I will spend many good hours on here. Being inspired, and inspiring.

    Your structure is intriguing, it guides the reader on a natural pause through your work. It was a creative and unique penning and I enjoyed the journey through your meditative thoughts. I listen to Depok...always find serene comfort during and after, lighter is how I would say I feel Again, my pleasure to read your work ~tia
