I walk along without a shadow behind me

I walk without the weight that so often tags along

I walk, no longer bearing the shackles I put upon myself

I walk, noting the presence of what lurks up ahead

I walk on

 

I walk in the company of spirit and mind

I walk through planes of awareness and being

I walk, gazing up at pillars of guidance

I walk, seeing idols without their pedestals

I walk on


I walk toward what is and is not known

I walk toward amazement and perplexity

I walk toward fear and anxiety

I walk toward the uncomfortable

I run


The author's comments:

Self-worth and self-esteem are both topics that cross my mind very often.  I really wanted to create this image of someone physically walking through their faults and setbacks in order to get to mindfulness and realization, going along with the theme of working past your own mental walls.
