The Road’s Wisdom

The difficult thing is to not get ahead.

Don’t buy tomorrow’s trouble with today’s new coin.

The path may ramble, or become choked up

With snaring hindrances; you may turn back,

But only to find a better path behind.

Don’t stride ahead with both feet at one time;

Keep one shoe grounded in the bolstering earth;

Don’t look beyond horizon-lines for boons,

Or blights, or better days to come,

But let them come to you, like wandering dogs,

Who always seem to find their way back home

The minute you stop searching, just as you will find

Your way to what you’re seeking, when it’s time.
