for a long while I thought life was about finding your purpose
then I’d slot into a rail meant for me and all would flow beautifully
from there
in it’s own right
in retrospect
it’s happened twice
children
book published
yet clearly-
or clearer anyway-
now
from my over-half-way-there perspective
I can see that it’s never been about slotting into a rail
it’s been about sensing the joy in one direction
and following that.
another word for this is passionate persistence.
that’s enough to live by.
