On the outside, we imagine ourselves looking in

But too many times we can’t get past the surface

To see what lies within and the potential

Of what can be if only we allow ourselves

To become part of the equation

Of getting what we want.

As we travel the peaks and valleys

On the journey to understanding

We must realize that to know everything

Is nothing and to have faith in the process

Might mean to accept that the road might be longer

And that road might be a different one

Than the one on which we started.
