Walking Among the Greats

I wrote this is, well, not quite a poem back in 1997. It's about getting on your path and encountering the giants that came before you. It's how you measure up.

On my journey this day, I follow in the footsteps of the immortals. The imprints they have left behind on the Earth are large and their strides are a stretch for me. Yet, if I dare not encounter them and measure myself by them, how shall I ever know the true immensity of my own being?

So, I step consciously into the light; walking the path they once walked. Leaving it, occasionally, and improvising. Adding to it qualities uniquely my own.

Breathing with the trees and conversing with the clouds, as once they did. Our collective wisdom grows until no distinction remains among the path, the immortals, and me.

Follow and achieve your greatness!RayWebsite | YouTube | Facebook | Twitter | Support Us
