A New Path
To a new beginning he said
and this is often heard.
I wondered though
might it be another hill or valley;
not to forget river and ocean waves
All movements towards a goal.
A new path to wisdom and growth.
Quietly I admitted,
I should now be very wise.
Is that so? I giggle to myself.
How do I know?
Shall I write them down
all the bends and paths
all the hills and dips?
Then try and count.
I don’t really know
Maybe life will show
maybe we will be wise, listen and learn;
Treasure each chapter as it appears.

Thank you so much, Brad, for your lovely comment. Each day can bring us new experiences and if we are open we will learn from them. Be it joy, sadness or wisdom……or how to really see a rose.

Wisdom is the distance between an event and understanding it. And it’s constantly moving, dammit! Nice one.

Yes, Miriam, I fully believe it does. Thank you for your lovely comment.
Maybe often there will be even more during a life time. Luckily we are all
unique and find different ways as we get to know ourselves.
