Walking In a Circle

As I walked down the street. I caught myself looking for a sign. Of an old familiar road that had become lost to me. I could not stop thinking about my directions, and my choices. My mind was not settled, I had thoughts, What about this? Should I go over there, or around here? How about down over there? As I began looking for answers to questions, I had not yet even asked yet. Was I trying to find a destination that did not exist? Because the road I was on was coming to an end. Was this just a puzzle for me, a maze? Was I seeing things? As I continue to travel down the road, I could no longer see clear. Was it because my destination was shaken? That I could no longer find my way? Is this a symbol for my life? Just when did I let go of reality? I feel like Alice falling down the rabbit hole. Just then the wind blew, and a car came to a screeching halt. I found myself right back where I had begun, I had waked in a circle. When our destination becomes cloudy, and unclear That’s when we try to find a better way to reach our destination. And we end up walking around in a circle. In the journey we take, why not follow God’s plan for our lives. Because when we don’t follow his plan, we end up walking around in a circle. Life’s too short to keep going in circles. But maybe that’s just me.
