In this week’s poem I try to explore the choices we make about how, and at what level, to live our lives.
Choices
Plumb the depth –
Where you spend your hours
is where you spend your days.
Root around inside yourself,
in unexplored regions
you may find
what you did not know you sought.
Soar with awe –
Where you spend your days
is where you spend your years.
There are wild places
outside the digitally enhanced, first class lounge.
Beyond your door
a path is waiting for your step.

nice one mum!
I made my choice
For the days,
for the weeks
for the years
In the future,
where I want to spend my life.
And there is a path
by the shining water,
A place to think and dream
But without the support
of my children
I might not have found
That place
and made that choice.
Thank you.
Wow, thank you for that, what a beautiful response!
