the journey

if you look at her life
you can see patterns
it's not one long marathon 
to the finish line
there are many small sprints
on various terains
sometimes it's raining and cold
leaving her drenched and frozen
other times she is running 
through the hot sand 
getting sunburned 
dreaming of an icy glass of lemonade
ready to plunge into the depths of the ocean
while other times she has the warm winds behind her 
and it all seems effortless
although these sprints are vastly different
they share a common thread
the journey
not the destination
it's never really about where she is going
it's how she gets there
did she survive?
or did she give up?
it doesn't matter what she looks like 
or where she ends up
it's all about the endless journey
that she continues to take
and how commited she is 
to staying in the game of life
