Directions In Life Quotes

“FORKED BRANCHES


We grew up on the same street,
You and me.
We went to the same schools,
Rode the same bus,
Had the same friends,
And even shared spaghetti
With each other's families.


And though our roots belong to
The same tree,
Our branches have grown
In different directions.
Our tree,
Now resembles a thousand
Other trees
In a sea of a trillion
Other trees
With parallel destinies
And similar dreams.
You cannot envy the branch
That grows bigger
From the same seed,
And you cannot
Blame it on the sun's direction.
But you still compare us,
As if we're still those two
Kids at the park
Slurping down slushies and
Eating ice cream.

“Nature is poetry, dreams, and the coming to oneself. The wind takes us away and toward, changing our direction, closing our eyes against the dust it stirs up from the ground. Where it came from cannot be found.
The sun is light and so the moon, looking from the sky on to the earth below.
The rain brings water to fill the lakes and streams, and fall upon the children running in the yard, mouths wide open to drink it in.
And what of the trees? Hug them, love them, sit beneath their shelter, draw upon their roots, see the leaves and shoots reaching for the sky, and always wonder why.”
― Susan Brougher
