My shoes have a Mind of their OWN

(May 25th 12:07 am got home half hour ago from long board meeting)

I arrived home seven minutes after it was yesterday
I knew exactly where i wanted to go
I knew in my heart
But my mind and my feet were uncertain of the way to take
It is easy to know
Just close my eyes would lead me to THE WAY

    I love your poems accompanied by pictures. It is so cool to have images that give even deeper meaning to and insight into your words. It is a whole new way to discover you. I love it. I also love how you move from the past and its’ uncertainty to the present and its’ certainty in knowing how to get to THE WAY. So beautiful Bahareh Jan.

      As you know, i only write about what i see or feel at the moment…. I had just walked in from a meeting and had gotten into bed when i saw the shoes going in different directions. It is the mind that plays such tricks, for the mind it is often so so clear. The clarity of heart, i hope i learn to listen and shed the uncertainties that remain. Thank you for reading me and looking into my journey. Bahareh
