Navigating

5/13/09

Life is a big body of water

with tributaries feeding in,

pouring through, rain swollen,

surrounding land mass,

humans are in small boats

making our way to shore

of high and low elevation

that experience dealt us,

but later on we choose,

set intentions, have goals,

search for milestones along the way

taking action as necessary

and it can overwhelm us 

when hungry from past disruption,

having forgotten our 'First Peace'

or not having the tools

to juggle and focus attention,

even take time to try,

caught up in beliefs instilled 

from early childhood impact,

luckily we still have ability

for taking charge of results

reworking gray matter upstairs,

resetting, re-calibrating ourselves,

feeling into emotional guidance

as system for finding direction

while navigating new territory.
