My Way

                                                                                                     


I do things my way. Right, wrong or indifferent. If I mess up, it is on me.


My mother always told me that right from the start I would listen to what I was told....then do it my way regardless of the consequences.

Through out my life, I have made many mistakes and with that have learned many lessons. Sure I could have learned the same lessons by listening to someone wiser than me...but I would not have had the experience myself.

I learn by doing.

And so I may not be of your religion. I may not believe as you do, but that doesn't mean that I don't believe.

Through my learning, through  my experiences I have become who I am. I can look in the mirror and know that the lines on my face have stories to tell. The scars on my body show deeper, personl expeirence.

The ache in my being tells me that there is more to feel, more to learn, more to become. I doubt I'll be sitting here waiting for it to just come to me. I doubt I'll be satisfied with only listening to others.

I.....learn by doing.
