What looked like a dead end
to the path less taken
turned into more of
a vertical journey within,
reflecting outward.
and becoming even more connected
with God and with my own
heart.
There was a gratitude beyond words
for each tiny piece of truth
that added to an unshakeable knowing —
the remembrance of my very essence
that could never be broken —
a tender space
where there had once been
only pain.
