Each of us are on a journey. Our journeys are unique. No one knows where our journey will lead. No one knows the challenges we’ll face. No one knows the eventual destination. Our journeys are a mystery. We may make a list of goals. We may write a clear description of our dreams. We may make out a clear map of our journey. But life has a way of grabbing hold of us and taking us in a different direction. Don’t fight the journey. Embrace the journey and it’s challenges, it belongs to you and no one else. Happy traveling.

Today’s Poem ~ Uphill
Uphill
Christina Rossetti
DOES the road wind uphill all the way?
Yes, to the very end.
Will the day’s journey take the whole long day?
From morn to night, my friend.
Yes, to the very end.
Will the day’s journey take the whole long day?
From morn to night, my friend.
But is there for the night a resting-place?
A roof for when the slow, dark hours begin.
May not the darkness hide it from my face?
You cannot miss that inn.
Shall I meet other wayfarers at night?
Those who have gone before.
Then must I knock, or call when just in sight?
They will not keep you waiting at that door.
Shall I find comfort, travel-sore and weak?
Of labour you shall find the sum.
Will there be beds for me and all who seek?
Yea, beds for all who come.
Today’s Power Thought ~ Keep On
There are times when people will see you dancing and singing and they will think you’ve lost your mind. Keep dancing and singing you’ve found your path.

Today’s Reflection ~
No one can build you the bridge on which you, and only you, must cross the river of life. There may be countless trails and bridges and demigods who would gladly carry you across; but only at the price of pawning and forgoing yourself. There is one path in the world that none can walk but you. Where does it lead? Don’t ask, walk! ~ Nietzsche
Today’s Reflection ~ The Path
Where the way is hardest, there go thou; Follow your own path and let people talk. ~ Dante Alighieri
Reality ~ A Poem About Love by Rabia
Reality
In love, nothing exists between heart and heart.
Speech is born out of longing,
True description from the real taste.
The one who tastes, knows;
the one who explains, lies.
How can you describe the true form of Something
In whose presence you are blotted out?
And in whose being you still exist?
And who lives as a sign for your journey?
– Rabia
Today’s Reflection ~ The Journey
“Before you embark on it you ask the question: Does this path have a heart? If the answer is no, you will know it, and then you must choose another path. ~ Carlos Castaneda
