Living with Reason

By Kelcie D. Brunson

Life is constantly changing and over time it brings about a change in each of us. Living With Reason epitomizes this evolution of the spirit which occurs simply by living and going through experiences, both good and bad. Although the good tend to be more in demand, it is the tough situations that highlight our true character and develops us with each encounter.
As we grow and try to figure this thing out, we learn to accept that we are going to make mistakes on this journey and that is okay. With time we become powerful enough to love ourselves where we are and know that the difficult experiences are setting the stage for what is to come. Living With Reason is a journey of taking ownership of self and knowing that we have a purpose in this life. And, that purpose is a great one. Furthermore, we aspire to accept things for what they are now and know that with each day there is so much more to come.

Thus far, I’ve had to make many decisions in my life, and though I tried to make the right choices along the way, I am not perfect. And at times, I failed. Over the years, I’ve cherished some of their memories while others continue to haunt me each day. At times I would pray for a chance to make things the way they used to be, but at some point, I realized that things would never be the same. My life could not be defined by my dreams. I had to start again, and this time, make a lasting change, which enabled me to find my identity in a world with so many faces.

Introduction

At different times in our lives, we all come to a point where we have to choose our direction. Some of us continue on the same path, and then there are those of us who find it essential to make a change in direction. However, no matter which road we choose whether right or wrong, we make the most of the situation.

Thus far, I’ve had to make many decisions in my life. Although I tried to make the right choices along the way, I am not perfect, and at times I failed. Over the years I’ve cherished some of their memories while others continue to haunt me each day. At times I would pray for a chance to make things the way they used to be, but at some point I realized that things would never be the same. My life could not be defined by my dreams. I had to start again, this time making a lasting change, which enabled me to find my identity in a world with so many faces.

A Relapse in Time

sail me back to a world of before

when nothing that happened I knew

a time when no meant try another way

a time when love was true

take me back to a place of happiness

when all that was bright was free

the sound of laughter in the air

ringing out in sweet harmony

fly me away in an endless dream

the place where I can grow wise

a place free of the tears we shed

and the baggage that plunders our eyes

send me to my Father’s land

that’s far beyond the sea

the landscape of my natural being

where broken hearts are set free

take me back to the beginning of soul

the days of warmth, innocence, and no care

a time when everything seemed so right

though truth was never there
