A Sense of Direction #MondayBlogs

The North calls us to the cold
a divine hand, pointing upward –
while Eastward the sunrise
puddles us with her heat and fire –
we dive deep for a Southern call
not a drowned world, but a peaceful one –
while the West grants us rest
to tuck ourselves to bed
at each day’s end –
elements flow from the compass points
as we are guided by our own
sense of direction
a journey each of us must take
and forge
and climb onward throughout life
a path that nourishes us
spirit, mind, body
no matter the difference
from the paths of others
we are called to this life
called to ourselves
listening to the voice that speaks only truth
taking the road with its obstacles
and its spectacular views
living with a grateful heart every moment – Caroline A. Slee
