Sometimes traveling at a snail’s pace
We long to accelerate and find the open lane
Weaving in and out of traffic; seeking the best path
Escaping the emotional tie ups that snarl our brain
It takes only one creative thought
To release the crowding that occupies our mind
One new idea; one incredible “a-ha!” moment
Inspires us to leave the pack behind
We exhale with relief at the open road
Potential promise we can see up ahead
Places to explore; we know a new sense of freedom
We are no longer victims trapped in feelings of dread
The mental traffic jams will come and go
But an open mind shows us we can be free
We can leave behind those who choose to linger in fear
And our heart will lead us toward our own destiny
