Whether Planned or Unplanned,
The Breakaway is Powerful
It takes audacity,
Possibly foolishness,
Certainly courage,
To break away from
That which is pressing you
Down or pulling you back.
Some would say, ‘Be careful.’
Others would say, ‘Who cares?’
But, it is yours to say, not
Theirs.
Yours
And those who cheer
You on and those who
Privately
Watch and follow.

Hello there! We are seriously in the winter season here in Oregon. The roads are wet and sometimes icy. The path out of our house is not always clear. Nevertheless, on occasion we must. If it were up to me, I would be staying home most of the time. Ah, silly me. Sometimes a breakaway is called for. Whether it is a serious change in a living situation or a small adjustment, taking the steps is vitally important...for us and those we lead. Happy winter days! Your poet, skp
