A Recent Journal Entry...

I cannot recall each step of the journey
Some steps were along a river
More steps brought me through a desert
Still others climbed a narrow ridge
And a few more cascaded down a dark slope

But, here stand I, scarred, bruised, occasionally battered
and set free
Free from my shame
Free from guilt that was not mine
Free of expectation
Free of doing
Free to be
Becoming a being as I pause my doings
