I am awakening to many things in this journey we call life.
I am in awe as I witness us all
Tumbling and fumbling trying to figure it out
Who or what has all the answers?
I am humbled to whatever does, no doubt.
I ask for forgiveness of my silly mistakes
As I venture along this crazy way
And can only speak for myself, so it is said.
I bypass my critics and distractions within the web
The illusions and diversions are too much for my head.

So, I make a decision to turn the other way
The power of change just happened with a thought.
Nothing exists where your mind is not.
It is time to unplug and turn ourselves inside out
Walk away from the fences, let’s make a break.
Freedom depends on the choices we make

Know within that if it is peace you desire
And a love you deeply admire
Whether it be a physical form of matter
Or simply the beating of lifes heart
As it touches the bending of a branch
In the form of the wind crossing its path
Follow this to the ends of the earth and never let go
The birds will sing and smiles will eminate
The song we hear
All comes down to the choices we make.

Or maybe…

the choices we never knew were there,

appear in an unsuspecting happenstance?

I like that formational possibility.
