Lost and Found
Life, when you live it to the full, can be short periods of calm, interlaced with a sprinkling of ups and downs, and the occasional roundabout.
And then, now and again, you arrive at a significant moment, a crossroads, where you have to make a decision, knowing that your future, and perhaps also that of others, depends on the direction you choose.
You’ve been stuck in a rut, lacking motivation, needing to change.
So you pause, take your time, ponder your options, and wait for inspiration.
And sometimes you get lucky.
So you get yourself into gear, you pick a route, and you drive off.
Maybe not into the sunset, you don’t know that yet.
But at least down a road you haven’t driven before, that you’ve maybe glimpsed en passant, maybe in a dream.
And there you find something quite unexpected.
You find yourself.
I’m just wild about this. Full resonance with me. Thank you for penning such words 💖
Thank you, Crispina, I’m happy this worked for you
Love this! Still circling the roundabout, myself. But wait! What’s that up in the road? A head! 😱
Don’t you find, Liz, that when you get off the roundabout there’s always a crossroads up ahead? And not a head!
Not often, not in my world. 😉🐧
This beautiful philosophical piece has such a light touch and takes us where I suspect we’ve all been – and would all like to go.
And now I fancy I hear Don McLean singing in my ear…
You’ve left me pondering…
Pondering is good! Now get writing!
