Unknown Pathway

Unknown Pathway
In the collection of Susan Chisholm

There are many unknown pathways throughout a person's life. We may see a short distance in front of the pathway we are following but we can't see much further ahead. This is scary for humans. We fear the unknown, yet those unknown pathways lead us to our most surprising and enriching experiences that strengthen and often heal us. But, only if we have the courage to leap in faith.

Original Poem:
Unknown pathways
Leading towards life experiences
Often we walk
Eyes closed
Bumping into obstacles
Trying closed doors
Angry and blaming

We can walk
Eyes wide open
Negotiating barriers
Seeing open doors
That lead us towards
Experiences that
Strengthen and heal us
