The Way

Two paths that we can take, one much more sparcely travelled,narrow and straight. Bright sunshine each and every day that reveals big , burly, branches reaching out trying to keep us at bay or bodacious boulders blocking the way. Somedays it takes our breath away, it's such an uphill climb.... gets to be a grind.And yet, at the same time,when we glance behind and see how far we've come,it kinda blows our mind. On the days where we can't see the forest for the trees, it's ok because at least we feel free.... free to experience life as it is really meant to be. It's funny though,as tough and tiring as this journey is, we can sense that we are not alone.There is this omni- present force that buoys our spirit.Yes, welcomed in...... makes us secure to the bone. The apex beckons us as we strain to reach new heights.And when we arrive at the mountain top,our forever reality we can't begin to describe. So very glad we didn't stop and therefore forfeit what our eyes now so vividly see.Paradise Perfect and just beyond.... Lake Serenity.
