Keeping Pace

It’s good to have goals
Goals that point the way
The way 
A choice
A direction

Each step towards any goal
Follows a line towards each goal.
Straight
Wandering 
Back and forth

Reflecting on each step is hard
Because many steps can seem directionless
Taken quickly
Or slowly 
Or somewhere in between

Being aware of each step is only important
To avoid dips in the road, stones or uneven edges
Maintaining momentum
Slowing a pace
A steady gait toward chosen goals.

“To climb steep hills requires slow pace at first.”

~ William Shakespeare
