The Set of Things

Usually a goal 
sets our direction
gives us purpose. 

But, we must set, by ourselves,
with the advice of many others,
our journeys beginnings.

Each step that we take,
also our own, is shored up
by the strength of other pathfinders.

Goals are seen through
wavering mirage patterns set down 
through many todays through many ages.

The quality of our journey,
through bumps, bruises and sunshine
arrives from our singular choices.

Usually any goal is achieved or ~
forgotten, disposed of or transformed
by the disparate shapes and colours of our lives.

“Be grateful for everything. The good, the bad, the ugly. 
Our entire life is a precious gift. It’s all part of our path.”
~ Dawn Gluskin
