Choosing a Path

Leave a comment

What path do you choose today?

Will your actions matter?

Will you choose to immerse

yourself in the news or

do some small act of

kindness? Will you choose

to spend time hating

those in power or

feeling the love of family

and friends? Will you

choose to appreciate

the white dogwoods in

the woods, the blackberry

bushes, and the copper

ajuga blooms, or will you 

notice the potholes in the road

and the unpainted fences?

Each day, the path we choose

matters, each and every action,

small or large, matters.

Inspired by Carrie Newcomer’s post Clearing a Path.
