The Forest in between the Trees

As we walk through life, it is like walking through a forest.  We may think we know where we are going, we may even believe we know what we shall witness and see.  Too often, like the forest, life holds its own surprises.  We see bears, we see birds.  We hear noises that startle us, we see messes that we don’t want to clean up.  We get spooked when the lights go out and we are unable to see, but something holds us close and leads us home.  As you go about your day, consider what you left behind and release it.  Embrace what is before you, the things you can see and even those that have yet to be discovered.
