Roadblocks and hurdles,
some of our own making,
detours, detractors,
detritus delay us,
reason enough to reroute,
yield. Our best hope?
Recalculate.
Skip the rearview,
face forward,
plan a course.
Go at the speed
of your heartbeat.
Let boundless energy
fuel your travel.
Every forked road
offers a choice.
To turn back
is not defeat.
Let your default
be set for growth,
goodness, grace.
-Mary Louise Peters✨Love & Light for Today:
“Any intelligent fool can make things bigger, more complex, and more violent. It takes a touch of genius—and a lot of courage to move in the opposite direction.” -E F Schumacher
Where is your genius leading you?
How is courage moving you toward peace?
