Each step brings me closer to the goal of becoming, transforming, evolving, metamorphasis! Knowing each end never ends. Only another footstep on a journey I make my own each day. A pilgram on the path to understanding what is important cannot be carried in your pockets. Many walk much faster and never take the first step.
