The Obstacle is Me

The obstacle is me.
Nose to the grindstone,
Only seeing the wheel.
Round and round,
The same thing.
Looking up,
Awakening or illusion?
The haze is unclear,
So many thoughts, so many possibilities.
Foolish choices, wonderful choices.
Awakening or rock bottom?
Seed hits the quarry,
But so does the earth.
A seedling of clarity,
Will it survive?
Good choices, wonderful choices.
A new grindstone, a new wheel.
Finish the job.
The obstacle is gone.
The future is me.

I'm a 41 year old happily married father of three great kids. We live and love in Southern California. My blog is an outlet for me to pontificate on all things great about being a dad.
