Sometimes it's too much... sometimes it's not enough....

That transition between childhood and womanhood

The parts of life that define it... what choices I made... what choices I didn't have.

Looking in the past for shadows to learn from... and looking ahead tight-eyed for a light barely there.

With a certainty as definite as I was uncertain, I know somehow the path winds straight again... and in it the mounds and mudholes of new worlds... of campionship and motherhood. A road of new choices... new scales... new balance.

And I wonder how a girl like me ever got this far... how I find it in myself to keep wading.
