Cast Adrift
Everyone has a destination
of what they want to do
and what their life will be like.
But like the currents in a river
the unexpected happens
that can turn you around
to a different direction entirely
or just throws you off course
for a while as you toss to and fro.
Sometimes a beacon of light
shows you the correct path
and sometimes you veer off course
only to lose your way.
Anchor yourself to a strong rock
that will never let you stray.
Usually the journey
is what's most important
and what you do along the way.
Your actions and your reactions
show your true intentions.
So be kind and pay it forward
because it matters in the end
whether you made a difference
in your life
or just let go of all loose ends.

No one really knows what the future holds except God. Each and every day we make decisions that affect our lives. We also react to the different happenings in our world in own idiosyncratic ways. Hope you are going through a good stretch!
