Every decision is a doorway

The prompt for What’s Going On is about wishes for the New Year, about any fresh start. There are many things we have no control over. However when you live with awareness, every decision can be a fresh start. So I wish that your decisions will send you on the right path.😀

Every Decision is a doorway

Every decision is a doorway
to a new beginning
Every decision you make
creates a different strand
You are the weaver of your world
of many unseen threads.

I know,
you can’t choose your challenges.
Some cut into the flesh of your being.
but you still have the freedom
to act or to react,
to trust your hands know the work,
or to wrap yourself in a blanket of care
and to know the sky
will still hold the stars for you.

There are small decisions to make.
Listen to the honeyed echo of your values.
Ask if your words will soften
what they touch,
falling like velvet rain on hard earth.
Know the ground remembers
every kindness.

There are big decisions to make.
Insecurity fills your mind.
Doors close.
There will be new stones
you can stumble on,
but your journey will also be stitched
with invisible gold
you only see
when you look back.
