Walking..

So I've walked. Sometimes to get from point A to point B,  to get away from someplace as well as to get to some place.

Life is just that.  A series of moving from  one place to the next.  Whether it be I  a physical sense or mental.  The question is the time it will take. 

When I left California I was in a hurry.  The trip from my home town to Los Angeles was a blur.  As was the trek from LA to Vegas

Some move quickly others slowly.  Some smell the proverbial flowers or rush by not appreciating what they are seeing along the way. I saw the other travelers and chuckled a bit at those that were pursuing a dream to hit it rich or make it big. 

In a way I hope that one of those travellers did find the American Dream whatever there destination was. Too often however we forget to stop and think along the way.

Don't get me wrong there is something to be said to taking that chance.  Just throw caution to the wind and run with life.  See what it will throw at you.  But be prepared. The end of that rainbow has a cloud for a reason.  What will happen if the mist clears and nothing is there? What is the toll you must pay? For some it's is riches eternal and does who you are are where you came from stay within you? The dreams you have are they the same and are you staying on that road to happiness that you set for yourself?

We grow.  Dreams change.  Life happens that steers us one way then another. But ultimately the question is who are we to others when the lights are no longer upon us,  the riches are gone and we are left at the beginning again.

To take a venture into the unknown is a leap and to live we must face a thought of doing just that.  Be it a new job,  a new friendship or relationship,  or a dream that we hope to chase.  Just be ready for what the outcome is going to be. 

Some go mad, some look for the end of a rope or bottom of a bottle.  I just hope you dear reader remember these words and when that day comes think.  Remember who you are and where you came from. Be it finding your way to fight for yourself you can do it again.  Life is not lost.  Or everything was laid out for you. Keep that happiness it was there once what lessons can you teach?
