Show Up And Go
From There
I have no map. I haven't been here before. I'm lost half the time.
Fear slows me down. The weather's unpredictable.
.
And yet.
If I don't believe in myself,
And I don't have faith,
And I don't trust fate,
How will I get
From here
to
there?
.
Because
From here
to
there
is
exactly
where
I'm headed
.
And
where
I'm headed
is exactly
where
I'm supposed
to be.

Your post well describes of the most of people on earth. So we have set a definite objective and work toward that single purpose.
ReplyDeleteStay focus and you are mostly assured to achieve your objectives.
Cheers and have a greater success,
yes, you are a smile makers
ReplyDeleteI never know about "supposed to be," but it seems to be where I'm headed anyway.
ReplyDeleteWander aimlessly; the destination will arrive
ReplyDeletewow! KJ... your poem is so powerful... so beautiful...
ReplyDeletethat feeling of being lost... even the form resmebles a tornado... we are spinning round and round... do not know where to go... just a feeling of being ruined...
but being ruined doesn't mean the end... it means a new beginning...
surely this transitional phase is so painful like when a child is born...
'Show Up And Go From There'
you know what to do...
you are powerful...
namaste!
your six-word is one of the best ever... why don't you put your link on Cate's blog so that more friends can read...

I love what you say. Right, we always think there is or should be a map and plan to our lives. But those such things are superimpositions of an orderly and controlling mind rather than actual experience. Really none of us have a map. And unless you believe in reincarnation, none of us have been here before. I too feel lost half the time. Great to read this.
ReplyDeletealternative: well E. bunny, i could follow the map of yr footsteps and then i'd find the finest carrots for sure. right?
Well that was just perfect.
ReplyDeleteLove Renee xoxo
Showing up is a good thing.
ReplyDeleteTrust you're right where you should be and make the best of it perhaps.
Baby steps KJ. That's how we get there ;)
xoxo
Have Faith... And do your best... :)
ReplyDeleteemily! cut it out with the wise guy stuff. this is spiritual!!
ReplyDelete:)
sweet mango, i love the award and i love that you stopped by. do you mind if i become fond of you? :)
ReplyDeletehello james, i will be heading over to visit you.
mim, i would LOVE to be a smile maker! do you think i can pull that off even when i'm complaining and lamenting? :)
all we have is faith
ReplyDeleteall there is is hope
all you can believe in is belief
if not
then i will believe it for you.
ps. ms e rabbit. please mind your 'p's and 'q's. respect your elders.
I love that...Im tagging along with ya..
ReplyDeleteSmiles,
Sonia ;)
Being lost has led me to some of the best things ever. A few of those things I know were little things left there for me to find at just that moment-and because of that, I know I am on the right path, just unsure of where it will lead.
ReplyDeleteHaha you sound as confused as I am . .no idea where I'm supposed to be or what I'm doing . . .I guess the destination isn't important, it's the journey that counts.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful post <3
ReplyDeletecs, yup. let go of the shore and let the current take you, and look around and see who's moving down the river with you...

Hi KJ, lovely to hear from you. Hope my messages are getting through to you. If the others have not reached you. Hannah my daughter loved your book. She only took a couple of days hooked on it and said she really felt for the children in the end and it held some funny times also. Sorry I haven't read it myself yet.
ReplyDeleteThank you so much for your lovely message on my blog. Let me know if you get this message. I am a little worried your not receiving them and wouldn't wish you to feel I am neglecting you as you are such a lovely lady.
Sending you a BIG SMILE:)
The sun is definitely not warming my heart yet.
ReplyDeleteTomorrow is Josephine's 2nd birthday so they are having her party today in my back yard. But it looks like it might rain.
Love Renee xoxoxo
That is a nice use of six.
ReplyDeleteHave fun at the casino. There is a game here called wild eyes, and I am totally addicted.
ReplyDeletexooxo
ribbon, nice to see you here. xo
ReplyDeletejulie-ann, i'm hearing you loud and clear! i hope all is well with you.
renee, tell me about 'wild eyes.' the casino was not kind to me today...
hello peter, how are you?
Amen sister!
ReplyDeleteNo roadmap
no manual
no guidebook,,,
but taking it all by faith,it's a wonderful adventure!
"Life For Dummies" would have been nice occasionally,,,,,
All I can say is thank heaven you were at our sweet lolo's to score me the queen raven.
ReplyDeleteThanks doll.
Love Renee xoxo
babs, manohman, you are an optimist. and i should know because i am too, expect for the part about my broken heart. guess what i got in the mail today? it is fantastic! i owe you one. xo
ReplyDeleterenee, yay! i'm glad queen laurel was able to bestow this treasure onto her sister raven. leave it to me to be wheelin' and dealin'. xo
It didn't rain thank goodness but we came in anyway because it was too cold.
ReplyDeleteOh well.
xoxoxo
I love this kj. I haven't had a map for years either but I'm starting to chart one now and it's much more interesting than what I'd ever imagined it would be.
ReplyDeleteI'm glad you liked that beach photo. I can't tell you how beautiful it is there. The surf was so big that the sound of the waves drowned out everything else and the sun was warm enough on my back for me to just wear a singlet top and shorts. It's only a two hour flight from Melbourne (where I live) and it's very wintery here at the moment so it was gorgeous to have some sunshine.
A nasty flu has kept me away...(first my son and now all of us) but I just wanted to let you know that today I stopped by and read some older posts and had a lovely time.
ReplyDeleteYou are delightful and all things nice :-)
best wishes

renee, just as long as those rain clouds don't cramp your style :)
ReplyDeletekate, i will have the warm sun on my back most of the summer in cape cod. do you know of that place? xo
ribbon, i hope you're feeling better. aww, your comment is making me blush, but thank you, and thank you for taking some time to get to know me. i'm enjoying that on your end too. xo
Brava! Very self empowering poem. That's right, girl. No regrets!
ReplyDeleteOne step in front of the other taken with faith is all any of us can do :-).
ReplyDeletexoxo
Happy Birch-day?
ReplyDeleteI'm just being a wise ass.
