Yellows
As I was walking my walk recently, I came across a gaggle of geese.
There they were, relaxing, chatting, doing their thing, right smack dab in the middle of the very same road I was on
& at first I thought, ahhhh nature.
I sure do love nature.
But, the closer I step step stepped towards their coffee klatch, the more intimidated and doubtful I became.
Word on the street is, geese can be meanies.
I saw a documentary or a news clip or something or another about a wild goose attack somewhere down the line
Yep.
Yes, I did
& I’m pretty sure I was told to STAY AWAY from the geese.
but but but, I said to me
I’m walking
& I’m not ready.
I do not want to turn around yet
So.

Lucky for me, I pay attention to littles
& right before I stumbled upon the Goose Club I had noticed some wonderful littles.
Yellow butterflies.
Or maybe they were yellow moths ?
Don’t ask me Bob because I don’t know these things.
Either way, there were many.
Many.
Fluttering, oh so carefree, happy yellows.
It was as if they were leading my way.
They’d flicker and fly and stop for a rest.
I’d walk, catch up
& we’d begin again.
flicker, fly, stop.
walk walk walk
catch up
begin again
That was the entrancing pattern I was hypnotized and enveloped in until …until …
The Gaggle Gang interrupted our joy.
boo.
ooooooo
what to do
The yellows weren’t concerned at all.
They merrily danced right on through
& so, very unsure and very, very timidly, I followed
& initially, it was quite terrifying.
Those geese and their Don’t You DARE aura, stopping mid sentence to see who so foolishly interrupts.
But.
I kept walking
& soon, I was beyond the bullies and fright and back in sync with those lovely happys.
Now, you know me
& you know what comes next.
Sign.
It was a sign.
Oh yes.
It most definitely was a sign.
Follow your glee.
Wherever it goes, wherever it leads
& when you happen to stumble across those scary, intimidating blockers of your road take a deep breath, concentrate and keep on walking.
Keep Walking
Keep Walking
Keep Walking
Because the best part of all lies beyond the ‘I don’t think I can do this’ fear.
Thanks for the lesson happy yellows.
& you too, you geese.
Next time we meet I promise to tread lightly but, just so you know, I most definitely WILL keep walking.
Oh yes.
I will. I will. I soooooo will.
🙂
