A Poem About Life

First published on LinkedIn on 2nd August 2016

Among the things I'm thinking about at the moment - and working on with my coach, Joel - are my creativity, and how I share things in the world. With that in mind, I wanted to share a poem I wrote today. If it speaks to you, I'd love to know how.

----

A road with twists and turns,
A landscape with hills and valleys,
A story with laughter and tears,
And here we are.

Here.

I see a great vista before me.
And I can see the view behind me, too.
I can feel a hundred million stories
To my left and my right.
And here I am.

I didn't mean to come here.
I just did the best I could
And it led here.
To this moment. To this place.
To this feeling.

The feeling of Now.
And here it is.
And here it is.
And here it is.
And here it is again.

This was my first ever post on LinkedIn, and the first writing of my own that I shared publicly as I moved into this new phase of my career. Of course, it wasn’t the last!
