"The brilliant autumn colors muted themselves behind a body of clouds."
Walking in the Condensation of Wisdom
I walked today and went for miles,
Cultivation that has grown to be routine.
The brilliant autumn colors
Muted themselves behind
A body of clouds that
Hovered close to my earth.
The view in the distance that
I yearned to see was fogged.
So often we humans are
Not meant to look further than
Past our own hands.
Only right in front is what
We are to understand,
And more often than not,
We don’t even
Comprehend that.
So while the fog wrapped its
Soft flesh around me;
And as the sun tolerantly
Waited in the background,
I embraced back the grey wisdom
Of the unknown and walked,
Looking no further than one
Step ahead of me.

Isn't it difficult at times to not know where we are going? We need a GPS for life. Some say we have one in our DNA. Some say we get our directions from the Holy Scriptures. Some say it is just best to drift along and see what comes up. Regardless of how you consider your life's journey, I would suppose it is always best to see what is just right in front of you.

Face Book- A New Chapter
It's time for Susan Patterson and the business of Earlene Grey, to get going in the 21st century. Not very fast, but I will get going. I've joined Face Book. At least I'm in the process of joining. I am learning. (Thank you Cheryl Snow for explaining the whole thing to me over a cup of tea.) You might say that anyone can master Face Book and all its networking manifestations, but I might be a little slow. However, I intend to give it a shot. If you are interested, let's be friends. If you want, you can 'like' me on this blog at the end of each posting. Now, I may not answer every entry sent out, but I will read what you have to say. And I will enjoy our relationship. Susan Patterson, beginning Face Book, friend. skp

The mist through the sunlight, the colors changing over the water, how can we not appreciate the beauty?
