Goddess of the Winding Path

Hello Goddess,


Through introspection and meditation,
Through patience and careful listening,
And sometimes through perseverance and force of will,

I travel down this path,
Where so many things seem new.

I try to understand what is in front of me
Differently than I did before.

I try to learn from others
Hoping one day I can repay and contribute.

I try to follow my instincts, the feelings pulling me this way
And sometimes pushing me another.
This path, it winds.

I know that's ok, that you're leading me someplace.
I know this because even as I learn just how little I know,
I still know so much more than I did before.

It seems I rarely understand what is happening,
Where I am going, where you want me to be;

But, I keep walking, listening, learning.
Trusting you, trusting my instincts.

I know it's not a destination,
But a journey that you've lead me to.

Lead on, I'll follow.
