Helping others become even better versions of themselves
The sand trickles through the timer
Grain after grain
Unstoppable
Mesmerising
Uncertain as to how long is left
We can watch each grain
Become anxious and coiled
Like a spring ready to ping
Maybe we can step away from the timer
Accept we don’t know how long is left
Maybe we can walk through the wheat fields
Run our hands through the tall wheat
Across the fields of dreams
Feeling the wind, the rain, the sun
Feeling alive
And no longer waiting for the final grain of sand to fall.
Life’s journey has many twists and turns in it.
There is not a straight, easy path through life.
Often, we are seeking an easy ride, easy options, straight-forward journeys, no delays, no inconvenience.
The best journeys are the unexpected ones, the twists and turns bring the magical moments that we always remember. Sure, they can bring pain and hard times, but that is where we learn and that enables us to appreciate the magic of life.
An easy path is a dull one.
