it is the follies of our youth.

The journey of our lives is not scripted, we are apt to fall flat on our faces at any given moment, we sorrowfully hurt ourselves and others, we often find ourselves clueless to our next step and sometimes find our choice of footing unstable. I have often thought about the saying "it is in the journey not the destination". I understand the concept but it often seems so far and foreign to me as I am actually on the journey constantly seeking the destination. So today I am choosing to focus on the little moments that will make the destination so much sweeter once I reach that end. If last years focus was to discover who I am and what makes me me this years focus will be to be present in my new found self. 

I pray for the patience to allow myself to breathe, the wisdom to allow myself to learn, the grace to allow forgiveness of my faults, the imagination to grow a better world, and the presence to enjoy each moment as it happens.
