Day 100 "Time And Distance"

Try as we may, there is no way of knowing the final destination of the path that we are on.
You might walk forward with the fear, with the strength, and with the resolve of knowing that you are leaving something, or someone behind...only to find yourself back in front of that person...and back to that place.
We leave ourselves to find ourselves.
There is no way of knowing where any path will lead. Perhaps we walk in to Hell with a smile, or Heaven with clenched fists?
We can often find ourselves with our heads down towards the ground, shivering from loneliness and fear, and into the unexpected arms of something beautiful and compassionate.
You can never prepare yourself quite enough for the chaotic ambitions of life.
You can never truly understand what it takes to keep stride with Time The Thief.
Choose your steps, choose them carefully, or as carefree as you care for them to be.
One foot in front of the other, with a clear ambition or out of reaction to something that has wounded you.
Trip yourself up or pull yourself over the obstacles in the road.
Leave home in the attempt to survive within this alien landscape, this brave new world...to gain empowerment from surviving yet another impossible foe.
Move forward with the comfort of believing that what you are doing is leaving some things behind, that you are healing past the past...that you are manifesting the best possible outcome.
No matter where this road leads, we can never know if it will lead us further away from what we have intended to walk away from in the first place.
We only choose whether we walk or stand still.
We leave ourselves to find ourselves.

Time and distance alone will decide the final destination of these footsteps that we choose to take.
