Truth 2

[CdnReader]

.

May this single truth be known...
For those who hurry to the goal,
Those whose footsteps pound
Resound
Hands in pockets
Body closed
Eyes ahead
Resolute
Forging a straight line
from here to there....

Know that joy resides in getting lost...
inexplicably finding oneself far from the path
of least resistance.
Joy resides in
mud puddles
cornfield mazes
strawberry patches
and stopped clocks.

Without these things,
Completion is irrelevant.

Oh yes! And smelling the roses too! How true, how true, and well said.

I liked that. People often say that the road to hell is paved with good intentions. The straight and narrow couldn't be that way if it was so easy to walk you didn't fall off, down, miss the path, become confused, etc. I thought Alfred in the last Batman movie had a real good point: "Why do we fall down, Sir?" "So we can get up again." Live life and take what comes and enjoy the time you have. It isn't all hair shirts and self-flagellation. That would be dull…

Amp, oh yes, rose-smelling is definitely good too. Thanks! :)

Yes, Pen.... hair-shirts and self-flagellations aren't the only way to the end. And neither is workaholism and other "-isms" that prevent us from loving our lives. Thank you for your comment. :)
