Where Am I?

 For years my expectations, I thought were reciprocal.
I trusted and was disappointed.
I loved but lacked the power to create love.

I wandered aimlessly along a narrow path thinking I would eventually end up where I needed to be.
I was disappointed!  

I just ended up - There.
On a path so destitute of the essentials of Life.
I got there and no one was with me.

I found a place by a pond, but the water was so stagnant that I couldn’t see my face.
I fought the good fight of hope.
My hope was deferred and it made me heartsick!

I noticed a winding path only a short distance from me.
I decided to leave the path I was on.
There were flowers on the path and small rivers of water.

I sat by one of the streams and sung an unfamiliar melody.
It was lovely. The notes seemed to float above my head.

I love this path. Winding as it may be, I would rather sit by the streams and see a reflection of me in a place called Here.

Ayo, I love this piece,"Where Am I?" because I could see parts of my journey in it. The concluding lines summarized the journey so well, "I love this path. Winding as it may be, I would rather sit by the streams and see a reflection of me in a place called Here.
Thought-provoking!

Do What Matters Most by William Cottringer

This book summarizes life's ten toughest tests with ten passwords each to pass these tests. The current overload, speed of change and chaos are all summarized well enough to get to the Land of Simple on the other side quicker than usual.
