Going to Leaving

Each person/situation brings us a different lesson about ourselves. God had it planned all along. Move on to the next level by seeing that as one door closes you get to look out the windows and see your new choices.

GOING TO LEAVING

Today I decided to see myself Leaving

For so often I focus on where I’m Going.

In the process I was able to see much was behind me

Sometimes [Going]

I anticipated how difficult my climb would be

as I visually measured the imposing mountains

fearlessly daring me to come closer

Now [Leaving]

I see them minimize and disappear

The ‘dares’ transformed to immobilized stares

as they become jealous at my freedom

Smaller and smaller,

my challenges seem to hide and vanish

and rewind into the harmless options they are…

For I could always choose another way to Leave

Surely Going will be less of a challenge tomorrow
