Another Crossroads????
Just how many crossroads are planted on this road of mine? Seems like this leg of the journey, there has not been one straight path that lasts for more than a mile or so.
Recently, I am experiencing outrageous growth spurts and am attempting to take them with some sort of ease, so as not to develop too many stretch marks on my soul. Every time I find myself at another crossroads, I cannot help but stare too long, immobile, too nervous to start down the wrong road. Detours, though seemingly adventurous and exciting, take me very far from my destination, and I take years getting back on track. Don't want to continue with that trend at all.
So this new crossroad invites me to either be my old passive self, and pretend its the way of the peaceful warrior, or to fight, and stand up for myself and my honor. And the way I just worded it, you must see that I've already decided. Scary but a little titillating. Who's this new Donniee and what does she look like loving herself more than anyone else, loving her well-being more than the illusion of peace, valuing the truth she knows of herself more than the lies others want to believe and make her believe about herself?
The road ahead will reveal this new Donniee. I like her already. If you'll like her too, cool. If not, simply exit via the detour to your left...
