Moving Forward


Its easier to stay here
To stay in this state of suspension
Days drifting by
Thoughts awhirl

To say “I’m figuring it out”
“I don’t know what I want to do”
“I’m hurt, and bruised and need time”
“I have to heal, to think, to feel again”

By doing so, I’m stuck, stuck in my thoughts, stuck in the moment

Its time. 
Time to take a significant step. 
Not the baby steps of the past months
Not the distracted steps of cleaning, or other every day incidentals
Big    Scary   Soul Stretching   steps

So how do I do that?

Treat it just as I would any engineering project,
steps that include intellectual along with psychological and emotional

Break it down

Create a roadmap

Formulate sprints





And in 2 weeks I won’t be here, in this concrete-shoed spot

I’ll be in a new place
On a new path
Freed from the continuous circle of uncertainty

I’m strong enough now
I’ve figured it out
I’ve healed
        I’m feeling again

I’m ready to move forward,
Picking up one foot at a time
Taking that step, and the next and the next

One… at… a… time….
