Anyone who is disrespectful of another's life.

It's been a long and winding road to this place, this destination, this state of mind. 34 years of existence bears more questions than answers. The only wisdom, its seems, that I've come to learn is not to attempt to answer every question. I coast and glide through the ebb and flow of each current that my life seems to be caught upon. At times I strive to seek my own direction amidst all the resistance, however, I've learned, that, althought seemingly triumphant at first, resistance comes at a cost. Riding the waves from which my life has sailed may not have brought me to the places I wanted to be, but the experience has certainly lead me to a port at the moment of my need.

There are times I still continue to wrestle with the wonds that heve brought me to where I am, but I have learned to keep my eye on the star that has kept me on keel thus far. No matter, night or day, in calm or storm, like every traveller I choose to keep my bearing regardless of the tempests and obstacles my way. It's no easy task, but rewards, though not really as expected, have been more than adequate for each leg of the journey.

Sometimes I wonder if I will ever reach my destination or if it will ever be worth the trip. I strive to keep the faith none the less.

Along the way, I meet others who follow their own star and those who have somehow lost sight of theirs. There is consolation in the thought that sometimes our own stumbles help others overcome their own. We are all bound to fall at one time or the other. Knowing that someone else has chosen to stand up and walk again is enough to keep us going on our journey.

As the trek continues, I have learned to enjoy every scene and encounter. In the darkness of each cave I have learned to appreciate the slightest amount of light. In the brightness of day, I have learned to enjoy the shade and watch others bask in the light. I have come to accept that I may be making this journey alone, as I have for many years before, and yet there is still this song in my heart that longs to hear the sound of familiar footsteps that will be with me througout my journey.

There are still many mountains so climb, waters to cross and waterfalls and rainbows to marvel at. My journey is far from over, each path I see seems more of a challenge than the last, but I continue to persevere, because I know that at the end of the road is the promise of a life that has just begun to live.
