Setting free the soul
Purging the inward trails
Detox-like roads blocked, now moving.
Slipping through vacant tunnels
Emerging from the pace of energy unleashed,
Slowing to the quiet pace of a meander through
Taking time to view
Surroundings that had been unseen
For moving much too fast.
In medians they grow
New flowers of thought like spring
Coming early as desired,
A roadside stand waiting for a customer
To stop if only to say hello.
A lonely road heading towards
Destination unknown yet predetermined
As we rise higher into the scene
Becoming one as the rains rush through
Falling on the windshield of eyes that see
Beyond to the lighter shades
Where the storm too shall pass.
Like each sign ignored till now,
Merge left or right depending on
The six lane or two,
Think I’ll move to the pace of life
Steady beat like speedbumps below rubber,
Mind aware of all
Beneath the skin the highways lead me on
To this moment.

Thoughts on this mornings drive of our inner bodies workings, like roads in a strange sort of way, and with my new meds, find the days moving slower and easier instead of the frenetic rush to go, go go….enjoying the ride, where the road takes me.
Thanks Kat, always💜 K

Been crazy busy wit packing and work is insane these days. Lots of meetings and then I hit a store on my way home to pick up niceties, doggie play time, dinner and bed at eight it seems these days. On a weird time clock. Waiting for closing date. Weekends seems to be my reading catch up time these days too….I hate waiting that long…missed you too BTW😊 happy Friday….that means it’s almost the weekend….how things in your neck of the woodsies?

The ‘go go go’ appears in your writing. Right away I had to start reading quickly, to keep up with the pace… Interesting eh? I picked up speed when you got on the road. How is, every little thing?

Kim, I want you to know how deeply this touched me and tugged at me. This is how I’m feeling right now, and I needed this encouragement. That it’s okay to follow the path my soul points me toward.
This brought me to tears.
Thank you.
