Grateful...

i’m so grateful

 to have started down this creative path

with all its twists and turns

bumps and ruts

forks and dark shadowy turn-arounds

it’s a journey that moves forward on faith

that no one can anticipate beforehand

some steps are liquid, flowing,

others wander or meander on tiptoe

still others cross seemingly treacherous territory

my paralyzed boots anchored in mire

there should be a well-placed sign

at the beginning of this journey:

“do not attempt alone”,

for while some portions

are easily navigated

the swamps require hand-holding

and boosting up

to safely emerge

on the other side

so to you, my hand-holders

and boosters-up

thank you for being there!!!

no, i couldn't do it without you!

(grateful!!)

 (slowly, but surely i am moving forward on all my projects..... updates soon!!)
