Awakenings

This pic kind of sums up how I'm feeling today.. mixture of awe, amazement, tiredness and full of hope! So much change going on that at times it's hard to keep up with it all. Which way to go..? what is right, what is wrong? Should I question?

This questioning reminds me of a poem I wrote whilst living in Newcastle back in 1994.

I read it every so often and realise not much changes throughout the years.... (well, internally anyway!!)

Life is a stream of forever complexities

Not knowing which way to flow or the right way to

Scared of the consequences that may result in the right path to take...

Should we follow our heart or do what nature has already set out for us...

The feelings inside are hard to withhold, but may flow over with any such urge

Like a hole that has no ending, a life can seem dark with no vision

A vision to guide and be there whenever life may seem dark and foreboding

To put trust in life is also like trusting dark corners

No one knows which way our hearts will turn, but to the way of our destiny...

If people opened out and saw the goodness of our world, many of the dark corners would no longer exist...

The flow of life is like the tide upon the sand..it has its ups and downs but always remains constant and our giver

The knowledge of being there for someone is bound to make things seem worthwhile if the complexities of life are too overwhelming.

Put trust in yourself to find your heart and share this among life's other beings.
