Shown the Way.

Goldfinch60



As we travel through our lives

We may not know where we are going.

Each path we take is different.

Some may be wrong.

But to get where we are today

We must be back on the right path.

Then we seem to realise,

When looking back on life,

And when looking ahead,

The Universe has shown us the way,

Shown us the right way,

Even when we don’t realise,

Don’t realise that we were looking.

          I am where I am today,
          because of the choices that I made!

          Loved your subject and the words, spending a lot of time dwelling on it, myself.

          • Goldfinch60

            So true Suresh, may you always be in the place you are meant to be.

            Like love. It comes and gets you when you're not looking..... and look where that gets you.

            Some people have a faith in a traditional deity instilled in them and everything in their life hangs upon that.
            Some are positive minded and allow the stars to show them that in the way of things they are quite insignificant. The stars then become witness to the power of positive thinking.
            The really clever ones, whilst acknowledging both of the above, have the capability of turning what others see as a negative, into a bright shining positive.

            And the stars look down.

              Thank you d a, the stars certainly do look down on us with brightness and love.
