Walking in Mystery

Walking in Mystery, acrylic on canvas by artist Michelle Lindblom

Letting Go of Worry

Life can often feel like walking
blindly into a cave

Where there are no known facts
of what is beyond our existing vision

A seemingly dark
and heavily anxious space

Mystery is ever present

Uneasiness abounds

Each day I enter that metaphorical cave

Taking a walk in mystery

Sometimes there is intense uncertainty
or unpredictability like I have never known

However,
I no longer walk
surrounded in fear

What lay ahead
does not give me pause

I make the choice to commence
despite any hovering hesitations

How did I get to this mindset?

Years of worrying

Disrupted days and nights.

Living on the edge
of numerous proverbial cliffs

Asking myself
when the next ball will drop
