Back in the Saddle

So yeah... It's been 6 months since I wrote anything here! It's not that I haven't had anything to say, it's just I have been immersed in a project that has my brain locked down. It has completely zapped the creativity out of me! I am hoping coming back here and writing a few words will bring me back to the center and help me find some balance.

So here is a snippet of poetry that I have not yet finished. I am publishing a book this year if I ever get off my butt and finish all these snippets. :-)

No Time for Apologies

It's too late to apologize
for words spoken in anger
the wheels have begun to turn
the past can't be undone

Life comes at you fast
and sometimes you must,
take a leap of faith
and hold on for all your worth

It may not always take you
to the place you want to be
but with patience it will get you
what you need today

Climbing the Right Mountain

I am always moving, always doing, always, always....There are many mountains in this world that we have opportunities to climb. In the pursuit of our dreams we strive to reach the top of our chosen mountain. Sometimes we find ourselves on plateaus or in valleys and seemingly no way to move forward or go up. But think about it...... There is a purpose to the temporary slow downs on our climb to the top. It is in these moments that significant events are going on and if we speed to the top, we will never experience these events. There are people in our lives that we need to know, and if we go to fast to our goals, those moments with the people we love the most, will be lost forever. Also, in the experience of being in the plateaus or valleys smelling the flowers and enjoying moments with the people we love, we may determine there is a different peak we were meant to climb. The slowdown is not always failure but oppurtunity to turn a different way, and maybe, just maybe, the right way. Peace
