Rebecca Harris

metronome

Finding the courage
to take the first step
is the hardest part~
After that, it is all in 
the momentum.
Keep it moving forward,
and one foot goes
in front of the other
over and over.
Before you know it,
you're halfway 
round the world
and cannot even see
where it was 
you started from...
The footprints remain,
should you wish to retrace,
but the tiny voice within
whispers
there is no need...
The past may mold you,
shape who you are,
but
it does not do
to dwell.



This was written after life seemed to stand completely
still for a while, when my husband and I decided to
separate after 9 years... Life turned upside down, and
I realized I couldn't just stay like that forever. One
step at a time, over and over... And on life moves.
