“We have no maps, nothing but the inner directions
that seem to emerge as we engage the questions and
risk moving toward the dream. Together we will
learn where we’re going.” – Judy Cannato
The man I now love
invited me on a walk
that first spring.
“Why don’t you go
in front?” he offered,
as we wandered
without a trail
down a wooded slope.
Inwardly I bristled,
“How should I know
where we’re going?”
But his joy
was simply to be
in the woods with me
and I, alone,
could not feel it.
We’re walking again
this spring, moving
without a map
toward shared dreams,
down a hill no less
wooded or sloped.
But now I see,
together is the key
not where or how.
And when fear
causes me to stumble,
I find myself turning,
not to anger,
but to love.
