Life takes us many paths
We walk many roads
We experience many bumps
We feel this too shall pass
And wait for the better.
But what if we realize
The bumps and boulders
That come in our path
Are the pathways for clarity
They are the kind of roads
We have to pass through
To become who we are.
Everything has a reason
Nothing is accidental
So next time you find
A bump on the path
Acknowledge the wisdom
That it brings along
In the path towards clarity.
If these lines resonate with you and you would like to listen to more such reflections on life’s subtle wisdom and find meaning that every day moments offer, feel free to tune in to my podcast The Path Of Clarity on Spotify.
It is a work in progress, yet I look forward to reading your responses and learning more.

SMiLes Dear Savvy A Conundrum Our Modern
So-Called More Advanced Cultures Will Be
As Increasingly Instant Gratification
Becomes the Rule Where the Rest
of Nature Yes Plays by the Rule of
Intermittent Gratification that Challenges
of Survival Brings While Also Unpacking
Epigenetic Potential Earned by Our Ancestral
Past to Survive as Well
It’s Like Resistance
Training that Stimulates
Bone Growth through Older Ages
Sit Back and do Nothing Yet consume
Instant gratification and basically Our Body
Withers away true more Effective to Exercise
than Just Watch Sports and Consume Alcohol
And Sugary Carbohydrate Fat Filled Snacks
Not unlike Video Game
Play that Never
Ventures away
From a Screen
in the ‘Real World’ Now
Indeed it is the Bumps in the Road
That Make Our Bones Strong Yet of Course
This applies to all of Our Existence and the
Rest of Existence
too For What
We Endure
to Earn both
Survive and True Thrive

Well said my friend.
Will add…
The bumps will flatten in time
Like the phases of nature
The changing seasons
Each arrives to make us
Experience life as a full circle.
The setbacks are meant to make us understand
That this too shall pass.
And that to surmount the odds we need to move on in faith 🙏
