The Journey Between
Let’s talk
about the unspeakable,
about the unavoidable,
and the unknowable.
We can use words.
We can also walk,
paint, sleep, or weave.
So long as we confront
the obstacles to love.
How can I blame myself
for taking the easier route‽
Building walls around my heart
kept me from knowing and seeing
the pain and fear I hold inside.
There is a long journey between
the fortress called belief
and the wilderness called knowing.
The road is our life.
“The only journey is the one within.”
