What have you done
To propel yourself in the world thus far
Have you faltered on your journey?
Fatigue plagues us all
Self-doubt and self-hatred?
Two sides of the same coin
But can be spent
And exchanged for something better
Have you fallen on your knees
And become good friends with the land?
There’s no shame in that
As even farmers and gardeners
Rest with the land they nurture
So too, will the land nurture us
Once we are laid to rest
A baby falls to learn how to walk
And the old one reflects
On where they have walked
If you’re not done yet
And can still feel your toes
Then ask yourself
Where will you go?
