The Journey by Patricia Greer

 Here's a poem for the new year:

May your journey be rich\

And meaningful

Not easy--

Easy is not the point.

May you learn much

And be certain of little,

Allowing yourself to walk a path

That sometimes has no footprints

Ahead of yours.

Keep going.

The rules are simple, I think

Notice,

Care,

Appreciate.

Go slow sometimes

So you can go deep,

Seek and savor.

Find what is yours to do in the world,

That exact-dead-center place

That uses all of you.

And then do it.
