There is a path (even when we feel lost)

The Path

Great Doubt

Who am I?

Why am I here?

What’s the point?

Why me?

How do I get out of this?

Great Faith

I’m here for a reason

I can trust that I can learn and grow

I trust that other people are worth the struggle

I know that every situation is workable

Great Determination

I’m willing to keep going

I choose to stay

I surrender to what is

Sometimes life just sucks

big time

sometimes the path not only seems obscure

but downright invisible

sometimes we are stuck in doubt

and we cannot find faith

and without faith

cannot find a good reason for the next step

and so

and so

we want to run

we want to quit

we want to deny

and we put so much energy

in the wrong places

and things don’t get better

we just get angry

and we point fingers

and we wander through the corridors of our minds

lost and confused

tripping over old events

old thoughts

old failures

old angers and resentments

stumbling around in the dark

lost

but there is a path

which begins with honest questions

and honest answers

which embraces faith

in above all else

one’s self

but also in the care and concern of others

there is a path

that leads us out of the world of darkness and debris

into a place of growth

and change

and so we keep walking

one step

one faltering step

at a time
