Where I am standing far or near
and all that I can see from here,
snowy mountains, wooded vale,
flowing river grassy field.
Consider where I am in life,
heading toward or left behind,
what is it I am entering in,
what prevents me how to begin?
does something stop me, from rising above,
essential gift for gaining love,
on this frontier I've staked a claim,
giving all and risking name,
changes in the drum beats flow,
where to turn, which way to go,
crossing with passions fully engaged,
allows life experience to gain new stage
are life's emotions coming alive?
confusion, fear, hope, inner drive?
give self over to ritual dance,
dramatize the process, take no chance
realize change brings challenge for self,
illness, suffering or sudden wealth
old life then seems most far away,
what once was close the previous day
fate surely shapes our every cause,
strengthen or strip us, give us pause
a script so secret, self must discover,
intensity unlike no other,
for every life is a mystery,
unfolding unique destiny
that we live is affirmation,
we are touched by life's primal confirmation

I like this, it's great.
As someone trying to figure out what are the next steps in my career, this one really hit me today, Larry! Were you reading my mind? Thanks for your words...
to determine what holds us back. and the treasures you can gain from letting go and doing it..
great post

Love this!
Nothing happens without a reason. It is up to us to open up to a wide range of possibilities and embrace all that fate has to offer.
May the force be with you Larry ;)
Absorbed my mind did that where am I going in life, i guess thats what makes it exciting I dont know any more, I would love to visit the Amazon that is one of my big dreams
There come many moments in one's life, the need to reassess and reflect. Beautifully expressed, Larry! :))
