as it is now...

There comes a time in someone’s life when they realize that there are those around us, that by their own nature are a gift to be cherished. They can be loved ones long since past, current lovers, new and old friends, children, sisters and brothers. Simple lights that guide us when we are lost in the cold and dark places of our own minds.... There are those that enjoy being in the moment with you a simple grin, wink or hello that lets you know that your a part in some small way of their day. The connection the binds us all into one being... human, and the divides that sometimes seem so insurmountable, but in the end so conquered. The gift of love to be so sacred and yet so freely given from one to another, becomes a testament of our strength, and yet at times we feel our greatest weakness. Look not so far in front of you that you cannot see where you have been or who has treaded trodden trails along your side, simply one foot in front of the other with those you keep close by your side. Reach out in times of need to become more than you are, and accept the things by your own admission that are your faults. I can admit that I am weak at times, and fail to achieve even when I try my hardest....short temper, fast to assumptions that are neither correct or even at times real are things that can be used to define me, but alas to know them is to have, for me at least , a upper hand in resolving them. However I can be only who it is that I am as it is now....
