When I don't know where to begin

There are times when I just don’t know 

Where to begin

Where to belong

Where to fit in

There are times when all I can do is

Sit in silence and wait

Wait for the inspiration 

To come

To guide me

Ground me

There are times when the uncertainty is greater than the certainty

When life seems to take turn after turn

When roads meet then diverge

And take me back to where I began

There are times when I look at myself in the mirror

And do not recognize who see

Wonder who she is and

What I am meant to be

There are times when the thought of doing another day in the same way

Is a huge chore

When life challenges me to stop

Just stop

And listen

Forcing me to

Stop worrying

Stop fretting

Telling me to just begin

Take the first step

Write the first line

Without expectation

Fear

Or trepidation

Asking me to

Just let it flow

Get in the flow

With gratitude

With abundance

Without worry

And then life starts to flow

Allowing the image in the mirror to  become recognizable

The steps to become lighter

And I surrender

Surrender it all

To the voice within

And do as my intuition

And inner voice

Guide me to do

And that’s when I understand

The uncertainty

The trepidation

The fear

The worry

Were all there to stop me

To point me

In the direction I am meant to go

To lead me to where I am meant to be

Away from where I was not meant to be

To ask me to remember

That beyond anything else

Gratitude and love

Are the most important drivers in our lives

They help to open us to the more that exists for us all

They help us to know no matter what

THERE IS ALWAYS SOMETHING TO BE GRATEFUL FOR

Always someone to love

Beginning with ourselves

With where we are

With what we have

As soon as we understand and accept that

Each step becomes easier

Each task lighter

Each line easier to write

Because our direction comes

From that place deep within

Where we know who we are

And what we are capable of

So on those days when there is more uncertainty than there is certainty

I am learning to be grateful

Because they are leading me to my place of love

My place of truth

My place where I l know

I am as I am where I am

And that is the only truth

Namaste
