On the Road with Myself

My constant companion.

I slept in a shelter along the path to another, distant village. I awaken to unfamiliar surroundings. Being new, my reactions are new.

Yet still it is me on this bunk. Still it is me looking out a new, small window.

❖

Over days upon days I have come to know myself and my ways; you have taught me to look honestly at my own will. The one whom I came to know at home is here now. I brought my whole basket of trials and joys with me.

Still it is me praying to you, Lord.

Let me follow your will, even along the way to new lands.

Consider:

Can I accept and love who I am?
