As I Walk…

AS I WALK… is a series of learnings – from my experiences of joy and sorrow, happiness and anguish…. Through smiles and tears and hopes and fears.

It is not a collection of the experiences themselves, merely what I have learnt from them.

I believe that our daily experiences, however big or small, come to us for one reason alone – so that we may learn, and then carry forth that learning to lead a life of abundance and joy.

As I Walk… does not tell you how to live – nobody has that right.

But it does tell you of the choices that I made on my journey as I walked my own path… and I share with you in all humility, the peace I have today as a consequence of those choices.

EXCERPT:

There are clouds gathering in the sky

I learn to stand a little taller now,

For I have learnt that no matter what

I have to weather the storm anyhow.

I know the thunder will explode

And lightning will fall from the sky,

But what has to come will come

And I cannot question why.

I can see the strength of the oncoming storm

I know the skies will be ripped apart,

But I know I cannot stand ever

With fear or sadness in my heart.

I know I have to stand and face these winds

That cut through me for they will not cease,

And I know I have to hold my own at this time

With fortitude and inner peace.

And even as the clouds shower upon me

I have learnt to go beyond every norm,

For I have learnt the strength of my own vast resources

And thus have gained abundance from every storm.
