obstacle.
you see a wall
a door shut tight
a path that crumbles
when you walk.
and so you wonder:
was this ever meant to be?
this is an invitation
to see differently,
to moe differently,
to become something
you could not have become,
to learn something
you could not have learned
without this obstacle.
if life were only easy
every door would swing open
effortlessly in your hands
every wish would be instantly
fulfilled.
but there would be no real joy in
that.
the obstacle is not the thing in
your way,
it is the way,
the way that builds you
into the person
you’ve longed for all this time
to be.
