Thankful

I once, in the not too distant past,

Wrote something called

"Working with Opposites"

It's not the only reason,

but I know, now, why Opposites;

Opposite Qualities,

were so fascinating at the time.

I guess I couldn't believe that I

was at that Point in my Life.

That I could be crossing The

Great

Divide .......

This has nothing to do with anything

or anyone but Me.

I simply came to a point where, regardless

of any bond that I held dear, any emotion that I kept

in My Heart

I simply and wholly, had to do what was

the Right thing for me to do.

Someone once told me that the only thing to do

is The Next Right Thing.

Life is not so Automated and Void as that may sound

But sometimes, It IS that simple:

There are right things, right paths, right decisions

to do, to take and to make --

And deep down, We can Know

What the Next Right Thing to do For Us is ...

And, so, Since My Heart was breaking and beating

Both for the first time in years,

I couldn't even comprehend all that I was feeling or

All the implications of My Actions,

There was something in me

Something Higher, More Powerful

than guilt or fear or even commitment,

That knew how to Guide Me

each Step of the Way

to the Next Right Thing ...

Until I walked my Way to a New Home

For Me.

An although at times I may feel UnRooted,

I know my Roots reach deeper, My Heart further

and My Soul higher and I will Walk in Good Company.

And, for That and for Him;

I am Truly Thankful.
