Crosses my mind here and there

While I sit in my solitude taking comfort in my headphones and also very much comforted by my ever so loving chocolate friend named Jackson who finds himself wrapped around my feet most recently…One question passes through my mind...


How do you live this one wild and precious life you are given?

If “they” gave me a guide I would have read it. But knowing me I would have also done the exact opposite of everything I was told to do. I have never been a “by the book” person. I believe I can thank my Father for this. I feel there is a certain romance and charm in this but I can also see where it could have been a more wise choice to read a little and even follow a guideline or two. However there is a path that I see myself on. It’s long and it’s vibrant and there is no end in sight. Everything seems a little blurry in the horizon but you know for certain what your eyes are fixed on. This is the path I walk down and this seems like the path I learned to take my first steps on. Sometimes I seem to slip and fall into the warm sand that has been resting in the sun for some time and I surely take comfort in this. It’s only when the sand seems to be wearing down a certain part of me that I shake it off and move forward. But always looking back in curiosity.
