Ping

It's not poetry - it's Thoughts from my Notes

February 2022

-------

Do you ever have an experience so profound

That you trace it back to all the decision points that led you there?

The pings that shifted your direction.

.

Some pings are people

Some places

Some things

Some of these pings aren't even in your life anymore.

And perhaps the pings that are not there anymore were there solely for a singular purpose

That one course adjustment

A few degrees to the right so that you'd encounter the next ping of direction.

The next ping of lesson

Of decision

To lead you to where you are now

This incredibly unlikely moment.

This collection of pings.

.

Then consider what on earth could be next.

Because this moment is pinging you in a direction

But you don't know what that direction is.

Until the next ping you notice

Retroactively

When experiencing an experience so profound

That you trace it back to all the decision points that led you there.
