I know where it is that I am going
I know that this journey will end at that destination
I don't know when I am supposed to arrive there
I hope that the end of this journey is the beginning of a new one
I do believe that it is
Still...
Since there is no set arrival time
I am free to pause along the roadside
To stray along a different path
To smell summer in the wind
To putter with things that need puttering
To talk to friends that need to be talked to
To scribble a note
To place a name on an old photograph
To laugh
To cry
To embrace the world around me
To be embraced by it
It is
After all
My journey
