Yesterday, today and ever after

What does it mean? The signs, can you see them? Do you want to see them? I can remember a time in my life when I didn't have the knowledge to realize that they even existed. As the awareness level rose, so did the ability to look the other way. You see then it became a choice, which in it's self is quite powerful. The signs, choices, like coming to a four way stop in the road. Which direction will I turn. Sometimes it seems easier to turn certain directions, no resistance. But eventually you must turn the other way, or life is a endless circle. A self fulfilled pattern that we engage in, at times unknowingly, unwillingly. Or so it seems, but simple by going the same direction every time, you are in the knowing and become willing. You know? Then there are times when you don't even see the stop signs, your vision and life is so guarded that you keep moving forward. Not knowing exactly what you are moving towards. A crazy notion inside, moving that direction. Maybe that is called determination. All these directions we can run towards with open arms, as if life didn't exist without them. The urgency to get through whatever may be occurring at any given moment. Not pausing to realize that maybe slowing down is the remedy. All the people we pass by on this journey. The people that we have ran over along the way. Some who just got in our ways and others that we chose to crush without hesitation. Did they chose that direction? Of course they did. But people generally don't knowingly, consciously that is, set out to get ran over by others. It happens, it is at times circumstantial. These are all choices, you see life is a choice. You can wake up and with open arms embrace the direction you are heading. You can let the current whisk you away to become someone else's unfortunate victim they run over along the way. Or you can make a choice, to chose a new direction at the four way stop in the road.

Understand?
