PAD 29 - Next Step

Two Degrees

If I don't change direction
I get where I'm headed.
Next step continues script.

If I turn my toes two degrees
destination shifts completely.
Next step rewrites script.

  2. Wonderful that you have a full blog for poetry now Victoria. I wonder how I missed this. Or maybe I have just forgotten. This is another of your wonderful poems of wisdom. Just those two degrees can make all the difference in the destination!

  4. Thanks Willow, Peggy and Diane for your comments here. My wise teacher Dorothy Satten was the first one I heard say "If you don't change directions, you get where you're headed." and it has really stuck with me.

  5. Sometimes changing directions is a necessity. Sometimes changing directions is a choice. I DO like your poem!
