It loves the quiet.
Giving pain and taking strength.
Don't look behind you.
About the Creator

Writing makes the bad thoughts go away, and the good thoughts more memorable. Despite the ominous tone, I love to write with humor and deep thought that helps me grow.

Learning the Way
I didn’t know the way. I chose wrong so many times. Every false path bruised my feet and scratched long, deep streaks across my chest. I looked for signs and signals, but despite their purpose, they didn’t know the way either. You kept a light on the entire time. I saw it, but I didn’t know what it was for. I chose the simple routes, clean, clear, and flat, hoping the easiest road would get me there. It did not. I reversed, and your light was still on. It was dimmer, but I could still see it. With my new bruises and scratches and memories of dead ends, I now understood why you never told me what the light was for. I followed it, and now I’m home.
