The Hardest Part

It is the hardest part:
to be prepared
to do it wrong
so many times
until you find your way,

to be sure enough
that the journey is worth it
even when you stumble,
unsure
that you will ever arrive,

unsure even
of where you the paths
lead.

About this poem

Art. Love. A Journey of faith. My experience has been that where I thought I was going at the beginning, was not where I was actually going. And that getting there involved doing it badly as I found my way to doing it better, found my way to where ever the path led.

And, particularly when starting something new, that can be hard. An act of faith. A leap into the dark. And not a little humiliating.

But ultimately, exhilarating.
