Suddenly Choices

Lynn Canyon Park, North Vancouver
from the centre of the foot bridge

Standing tall and taking a deep breath, 

     potential, 

      risk and 

       possibility surround me.

But which wins my heart and soul?

Or will it be all three?

Only the one

     in front of me

       planned with exploration the goal

         popping up out of the blue

With intriguing elements that 

     warm my heart

        bring smiles to my face

           expand my soul.

Always room for the challenges of

     Rocky roads

       Sudden detours 

          Stormy weather.

Standing tall and taking a deep breath, 

I choose.

“May your choices reflect your hopes, not your fears.”
