here I stand feet firmly planted on this rock
the paths i've taken to get to this point on the
space-time continuum have been long and varied and not exactly smooth
there were times I've taken huge leaps of faith
that felt like I was walking right off the edge of a cliff
yet something always kept me firmly rooted despite the illusion of free falling
there always seemed to be a way to get through even the toughest times
sacred spots to rest and restore my soul
and a special angel to guide me to a place of deep peace

this was a special hike I did on November 18th,
to celebrate the life of the little blessed one who blessed so many
