THE FORK IN THE ROAD

I have embarked on a journey.... not one of my own volition. I have packed the necessities.... observation, intuition, vigilance.... patience. Am I ready.... of that I can never know for sure..... but I am off. ..................... This is taking a while.... my body is weary and my will is slipping. I ask myself constantly “Is this worth it…is the price too high?” There is too much riding on this… too many people depending on me. What if I fail? What if I let myselfbe steered by the destiny…. of others? No! That is NOT acceptable! I am in control of my own destiny. I make my own choices. I will not let others swing me between their slimy grasps… and have me be a spectacle for their amusement. I am at the fork in the road. Which path should I take? My mind no longer has all the solutions. I will close the windows of objectivity And let my consciousness guide me. My being hurts. The pain is intense in my shoulders. I want to scream….. But there is no one to hear me The fork seems ominous… I cannot see the end of each path….. it is hidden from me. But I know, in the end it will all be revealed. Do I still take this path alone…. am I alone? The energy of this life. The warmth of nature’s arms. The spirit within me I AM NOT ALONE Onward......
