The Road 02/22/2010
 

I see two roads in front of me.

I know not where they end, but

Both will lead me on a journey.

Are their destinations the same?  I do not know.

 

One road is flat and straight.

Though it looks easy, there is no life in it.

No bright spots, no excitement.

But, no dark or dangerous corners.  It looks safe.

 

The other road is twisting and turning.

With peaks and valleys, bumps and smooth patches.

There are bright inviting places,

And dark, shadowed areas filled with uncertainty.

 

Which road I take depends on my perspective.

One is safe, but also plain and predictable.

One is uncertain, but filled with risks,

Challenges, possibilities, and wonderful adventures.

 

I know not where either journey will take me,

But I know what I will take from the journey.

I choose the uncertain path with all its mysteries.

Filled with highs and lows, beauty and chaos.

 

It presents me with the opportunity to

Know myself, and grow in strength and confidence.

To learn, to explore, to experience.

To be fully alive.

 

Now…you have a choice.

Which road do you choose?
