A Poem about this Book

Consider the Journey

When I pause on my journey, looking back

It seems so clear to see the path

I see the connections that got me here

The importance of diversions that were not clear

The goodness of people found along the way

Some came for a reason; some blocked the way

Sun came but, so did the rain

Peace was felt, but so was pain

Then I look forward, and clarity leaves me

Which path should I follow today?

Where is the true light that shows the way?

Will mistakes still happen if I always do right?

The journey is fantastic,

But I need an anchor for the night

Embracing the randomness is all I can do

Breathe in the amazing

Rejoice with life choices
