You are standing tall like a warrior in the desert

There is a path in front of you with two directions

One to the left
One to the right

Each will take you in a different direction in your life

But the choice is hard
So much to think about
So little time

So you stand at the fork not knowing what to do or which way to go

To the right?
To the left?
You remain still hoping for a sign

The air is crystal clear and it is silent not a noise to be heard

The sky is blue with a bright sun overhead
As you remain standing looking forward a wind comes and erases one of the paths

Leaving only one for you to follow towards the light and your destiny

Light up the world
Believe in better days ahead

Memories
Slide in and out of the recesses of our mind
Like clouds gently floating by
Some make us smile
Some are sweet as sugar
Some make us frown
Some are sour like vinegar
Some make us laugh out loud
Some are like old friends
Some seem so real it is as if we can touch them once again....
Memories

I can breathe
After feeling pulled underwater for several months
I can breathe
The air is fresh
After feeling uncomfortable and smothered
I can breathe
My shackles have been released
I can float to the top
I can breathe
My troubles have passed
I can breathe
And like a whale swimming to the surface for air
Once again I can breathe and see the sun
I am free

It seems like just yesterday that I was a young girl playing with my dolls and friends

Begging my parents to stay up late

Inside I don't feel that different
I love to imagine new places in my mind and go there

Where did the time go?

It feels like just the other day when I was running through the fields with my friends

Looking out the kitchen window
Watching the palm tree move in the breeze
Branches mirroring feathers
A few birds resting on it or seeking food
As I watch a feeling of bliss and calm fill my body
I am at peace
The scene is a form of melody
Hypnotic and meditative
Mother Nature is both composer and conductor

Sometimes I feel like my life is surreal
That it’s not real
When I look back on my life I can’t believe my age
Have I really lived this long?
Where did the years go
They just flew by
Yet I remember things as if they just happened
And deep inside I still feel like me
Even if I don’t look the same
My hopes are still there
So are my dreams
Yet I am at the last third or so of my journey now instead of the beginning
How did that happen
Is this all a dream and I will wake up some day

When you are sad
Get up and look at the sun

When you are crying
Get up and look at the stars

When you are hurting
Get up and look at mother nature

When you can't go on
Get up and remember those that went before you

When you want to give up
Get up and remember that you have your own destiny

Believe
