Notes About The Poem

Learning On The Path Of Life

Whichever pathway you decide to choose,
They’ll always be lessons and lots of clues.
On every pathway, lessons will exist, 
Finding truth will require that you persist.

Walking a path, does not learning assure.
Takes more than presence, learning to secure.
From your doubt you ask, “why aren’t I learning?”
Lacking desire, the internal burning.
 
In the present, let the path do its part.
Clear your mind, listen, and follow your heart.
The answers you’re seeking come from inside,
Consider each option then you decide.

Lessons will surely come as you travel,
Allowing the complex to unravel.
Take the complex and make it simplistic,
Lessons learned will seem realistic.

I like the way you break down the complex task of learning into 'manageable bites' -- and sweet rhyme. ~ gw

Thanks for the comments, gw. I need to spend more time focusing on what is eternal and let some of this earthly mess go. LOL BB

insightful and wise words, dear Bill. I think many of us overthink things instead of listening to our hearts. Well said, my dear hubby, hugs, me

I'm ready too, my friend. The stress of all this mess gets to me some days. I like to know what's going on, but with all the lying and deception, the truth is hard to decern. Blessings my friend, Bill
