Clarity

No matter how young or how old you are, if you're honest with yourself, life isn't long enough, it happens in a flash, one moment you're four years old, playing in the grass, looking at butterflies, the next moment you're in the fourth grade, on the jungle gym, wishing you could fly. Sometimes it seems exhaustingly slow, like waiting for the timer to go off while you're waiting for cupcakes or cookies, or while you're on a trip, and your dad is driving just so slow it makes you want to scream...and you want to fast forward, to get to the end, the prize, you want to skip along until you reach the destination, but really life isn't about the destination, it's about each step that takes you there, and maybe, just maybe the person you hope to find at the destination, has been at your side the entire time?
