The future is always unknown.
Every twist. Every turn.
Capable of striking fear of what may be waiting.
What if the road ends? Where will I find myself?
What if I’ve gone too far to remember the way home?
But every present moment is a step toward an uncertain future.
Each decision. Each breathe. Each word.
Leading us somewhere we aren’t sure we’re prepared for.
And we never could or ever will be.
We only have this moment. Right now.
We have time to err. Time to explore.
Time to see what is without the fear of what might be.
Waiting never made clear an uncertain path.
It only gives us doubt of every direction.
Forging a future doesn’t always carve a straight road.
But the journey of the here and now.
The immediacy of the life we can see.
That makes the living worth while.
