with this detour
/
With this detour, choose to release your expectations
Let go of the way you thought you were going to go
Be open to what you might not know is around the corner
Yes, the path is twisty
You can’t see what is around the bend
But pause and look around
Can you smell the salt air blowing in off the ocean
Do you see the way the clouds dance overhead
And the tiny little curls that form at the very end of the dandelions
You can only see it if you look close, go head, look close
Do you hear the birds chirping wildly
They are creating your theme song for this moment
A moment of wonder and awe if you choose to sink into it
Go ahead, sink in
There is no need to rush
Just be right here
Be ok with standing in the unknown
Trust your instincts
Trust your journey
Trust yourself
Yes, the detour may not be where you thought you wanted to go
But it may be the start of your wildest dreams coming true
Lean in, and trust
