Guidance

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Years ago,

I began to feel

uneasy

with popular means

of thought and action.

Some things simply

did not make sense.

It was

as if I was putting

on "Hand Me Down" Shoes

that did not fit

my Feet

and hampered

my Walk.

Plus,

I had questions

I had to pursue.

I began to walk away

from Boxes that constrained

my Thinking,

my Actions,

and my Walk.

Simultaneously,

I was drawn to studying

other Cultures' views of the World

and their place in it.

In that moment,

I began to honor

the Voice

inside of Me.

I was learning

to color outside the Lines.

Instead of a Black and White World,

I found Colors

hanging on the Rainbow.

I found Guidance

for my Earthly Walk.
