Trying to Understand


I navigate familiar paths.
I share space with animals that make
forests, meadows, and mountains their home.


Nature exerts power and makes changes.
I'm small in vast wilderness.


I'm constantly reminded that I'm not in charge.
Weather and the cycles of seasons unfold.
There is nothing I control.


In my small world, I'm attentive.
In the randomness of life, I sometimes discern patterns.
Occasionally, I glimpse my part of the whole.


In those lucid moments, I know peace.


I continue to seek and find my one good thing.

Thank you to all who have e-mailed me about my posts.
I write to find my way.
I smile to know someone else is walking with me.
