In our daily walks and stumbles we endlessly create paths. Most are connected while others seem to wander off. Then one day they meet. One such crossroad was experienced today. By way of daily writing the paragraphs put into the veins of the living tree were reflecting on what 2015 was like as an experience. And in front of the writer was the new year. The third line or connection was the person sitting in the now. It's February 23 2017. Three different years being represented and only the writing in the present knows how each were played out and or accepted. From 2015 the act of gratefulness played an important role in the following year. Today... its as if God has said, "I cannot make things instantly happen. But if you keep your journey in written form. You will see how I work through you." Learning to study the path you walk isn't selfish. You grow forward by understanding how you learned from where you once stood. If you don't write it down. You'll forget about it just like yesterday.
