A little activity is the start

a short walk

getting longer each time

brings healing

Recovery is challenging

So many changes as one struggles

medications, exercises, examinations

too many people, all concerned

then not enough

Lately it seems…

Mortality gently knocks

not to remind me that death is coming

Maybe soon, maybe late,

But to remind me to examine

my life, to see if it is worth

remembering, even celebrating.

This piece is a start of something. At the moment it is very rough and unfocused, but it is a start and will improve as I improve from the heart attack and stroke that is the start.

Things happen

Life creates choices

Outcomes good or bad

Perhaps unknown. The

choice forgotten

 

For the fortunate

life may present

an opportunity

a chance to change

direction

 

Choosing change

may be exciting

or terrifying

perhaps both

But when it comes…

 

Weigh the positives

and the negatives

consider what your

heart wants, even

consider changing your goals

 

If not certain

try a leap of faith

into an unknown

and uncertain

future

 

It is terrifying

it is exhilarating

Like life it has

ups and downs

More up than down

 

What it requires is

your passion

Hold it close

but share generously

new dreams can come true

 

Note: This is the beginning of something. I know what the end will be, but not how I will get there, much like the focus in the title. So be patient it will grow as my journey runs its course.
