My Path

I saw in my mind’s eye the path I had just come from, snaking out of the dark gully. 

A bruised statement of fact, a simple truth of the pain from which we are emerging, the pain into which our journey had led us, for no apparent rhyme or reason, except that such is life, sometimes.

The vision of this path just travelled, offering both genuine compassion and the mere suggestion that our lives are greater than the last few twists and turns they had taken.

A tender moment of Grace.
