A New Old Poem: Confusion Or Lack Of Direction

Originally written on May 8, 1980. Found this gem as I was cleaning out my office for another move:

Windmills are turning in my mind

No direction, no path, an unknown destiny

Trying to maintain my center seems to be getting harder

Wanting to try too much, too fast and not being given the chance to try anything

Stagnation

Why worry?

Why try to keep an unhealthy pace?

Constantly pushing towards an unknown goal

Unhappy at present

Decisions to be made, afraid to make them, but trying anyhow

What do I want?

Where do I want to be?

How does one find the path; the path to happiness, fulfillment and tranquility?

I am lost; or so it seems

My confused emotions are manifesting themselves in physical ailments

Being aware of the cause does not reduce the discomfort

I want to unravel the maze but I don’t seem to know how.
