All It Takes Is One Project To Open The Door
Then There Is No Stopping You
The excitement builds automatically
No different than turning the key to your car on
Once the ignition has been started
You are off
You took the first step
The world awaits your arrival
Each step you take changes everything
The wonderful world that we know exists
Becomes only more amazing
Just when you thought it wasn't possible
It was
So as you venture on into the world
I feel your enthusiasm and nervousness
It is not just o.k. but beautiful in so many ways
I am not one to try new things
Yet I have no choice
Every day new experiences are thrust upon me
I can try to avoid them
Which I do often
Later I find out it is not only no help
But it takes me longer to accomplish the same thing
It is as if I walked backward to go to the next place
I will get there unharmed
I can also experience the same feeling walking
I don't see all the things I would see at the same time
In the end, I arrived and I begin to wonder
Isn't there an easier way?
Of course, my mind says this is what I am used to
This is familiar and safe to me
Even though other people walk forwards
I am scared and afraid
After a while, I can't keep up the pace they do
So I now have to turn around
It isn't so bad after all
Many of my unknown fears and worries have faded
I still time to time walk backward
A few people have also tried following me
They do it out of sheer amusement or curiosity
It isn't long before they also revert to their old way
I think if more people tried to understand
Life isn't just one way
It is a beautiful combination of both
We can all help each other even on our darkest days
The light will be bright and can be shared
There is way too much to go around
One person can never use it all
When we experience our biggest losses
We also experience our biggest gains
Life is funny that way
So as I rub the sleep out of my eyes from the day before
I will awake with a better understanding
That life is here to stay
Like it or not
It is up to us
To accept the things we love
Change the things we don't
Love each other through the process
