Shining Thru

Walking down the cool midnight path, Looking into the inky darkness that is brightened by the mood and stars, Until the clouds slowly move in ad block the light…Keep walking in the blueish blackness of the blank night, wondering what lays ahead.  Walking confidently as you know the way, you keep your head up and and pace moving like you can see where you’re going.  Quick glimpses from the moon peaking out from behind the clouds give you quiet assurances that you haven’t lost your way.  Walking, you know the distance isn’t far.  Walking, you know you will get there in the end.  Walking in the night there is a peacefulness that falls on your heart and mind as there is nothing to distracting you in the blanket of darkness that surrounds you.  Walking in the comfort of midnight you pass one thing after another, alone on the path you know you can’t be disturbed, knowing the path and knowing the destination gives you a peace that evaded you during the day.  In the day you can see what is around you and get distracted from your path.  The Midnight path gives you a clarity that you can only find in the darkness.

Every day leads to the unknown, even the best laid plans can become a jumbled mess of chaos.  Sometimes there are some moments that lead to ecstatic surprises that fill you with happiness and joy; then there are the moments with the unpleasant surprises that just lead to frustration and confusion…and leave you waiting for the next step to come your way.  Sometimes there is no way of knowing what will come next.  The world is made of wavering paths that we just do our best to keep balance on the wavering and ever changing roads that we find ourselves on.

Always running just to try and get a step ahead, but never knowing where that step will and, you could step on a gold mine, or into a hole of nothingness and then have to climb just to get back up on your feet.

Life is always full of the unknown, some of it good, some of it not so much…but we can’t do much except continue on and hope for the best.  Hope that eventually the bad will even out with the good and things will fall into place.  That plan that you’ve created in your mind for so long, and maybe you’ll be left to be happy, and maybe just a little less struggle will come your way, maybe just a little less of wobbly roads, and maybe something just a little more solid to stand on.

Sometimes we get so caught up in our comfort zones with things that it takes a friend or someone to give a little bit of a push or grab us by the arm and yank us out of the hole we have dug for ourselves.  Sometimes it’s nice to have the familiar things to fall back on, but other times it’s nice to break out and try something new…food, clothes, places, people…..I guess sometimes you have to be in the right mood, but often times it works out for the best, even if you didn’t want to go out of the box originally.

Sometimes we have to convince ourselves that it would be for the best if we went ahead with the plans that we make…even when you start to turn back as they get closer.  Sometimes we have to embrace the new paths that are put in front of us, even when we don’t want to let go of the old dirt road we’ve been following for most of our lives.

Sometimes a little push will make a huge difference….each new person that we meet, or new experience that we have we gain new characteristics ourselves, even if it’s just a change in the way that we think…the whole thought process is a big part of each person.
