Old poem - New career choice!
(card created by Art Durand)

Choices
11/23/93

We are led to the edge,
to leap, be pushed, or to hold on,
the selections made define us
setting tone for future progressions,
we weigh alternatives in illusion
imagining repercussions as guidelines
options limited through fear
electing direction from perceived comfort,
we want insured security
meant to keep us from any suffering
unwittingly we choose slow suffocation
robbing our energy to live freely,
we often break surface for a moment
when situation or person jolts our spirit
an opportunity to kick start the engine
removing the film of lifeless pursuits,
we understand our predicament sometimes
but the thought of change paralyzes
too tired to entertain the revolution
until the pain of staying outweighs the leaving,
we then muster the courage necessary
being led by the will to survive, and live fully,
making the tough choices that nourish our soul.
