As it was told…
You walked alongside the path enough to recognize it – you jumped on with no hesitation. Why you ask; to be told – taught – shown. You do not walk alone. The key you held unlocking the gate – holding it all along – we each hold the key – you said yourself – words guiding – unable to see their meaning; spirit lays in wait – coaxing through the gate – slamming shut as you turn back. There is no turning back – it’s already happened – your fear useless. You gather tools – not knowing why; the need to unload – simplify – rid your self of material possessions that are of no use. Teach the child – hold him close – as you walk the path he clings in spirit – already sensing the parallel.
When I was growing up I wanted to write and I wanted to take a job that was more of a calling then trade ( Funeral Work ). The thing of it is, I did both once I let go of the ‘baggage’ that I had carried around for years.
More then words Jill- your post struck a chord with me.

Amazing, isn’t it, the things that come to us – when we finally find the courage to lighten the load.
