The Way.
The Way.
I have been following the way for a long, long, time. It is a very difficult path and there is no knowing when or where it will end. Many have got lost and many have turned back, only those with stamina and courage will ever reach the end of the way.
I started my journey on the way the very day I was born. I did not ask to be placed on this path. I, like many others found myself going along the way, with all of its difficulties all of its pitfalls. True sometimes there was a bright light that turned one of my daily journeys into an adventure but mainly it is the daily grind the daily routine that has caused so many stumbling blocks that wait to ensnare all who follow the path. I have no advice to give any that follow the way; each must find his or her way to the bitter end. Sometimes there is a breath of hope on the far horizon that gives one the much-needed strength to remain true to the way. No flags are flying, no bands play music to cheer me on; I am alone as I always have been. I learned this lesson very early in my young life and have remained true to my vocation of following this somewhat dismal, somewhat well trodden way that was planned out for me long before my birth. I sometimes meet others following the way; Time to stop, to ask questions there is not. One must go forward, ever forward. If you meet me on my lonely journey do stop and speak, most rush by without giving me a look, it hurts. I have spent many years now on the way and soon I am sure it will end. Will all my dreams that I have had on the way come true? Will I become one with a happy will to laugh? Will I be able to communicate and tell you all a big thank you for glancing my way as I trod that dreary path? I certainly hope so for then I will know that my journey was not in vain. There is and was a purpose behind the long years I feel but what? Do not try to answer my questions for me just make sure that you too walk the path as well as I have tried to do, That is all I ask. Bernard Shaw.
