Face the Trail Be brave… face the trail Sections of thick mud or rocky terrain Chin up, don't bail How deep will the mud go? Great question— hard to say time is ticking So… Don’t change direction or overthink Power through Quick as a wink Take a chance Play. Play. Play. Remember mud runs as a kid? Why the delay? What if I lose a sneaker Land face first in the mud Trip over a root Toe to toe with a wild_____ Oh my! Get lost…... I hear you, Fear What keeps us from soaring leading, and growing is between the ears Best to pay attention
Tell me about mud. Walking in it. Running through it. Biking over it. Go!Go!Go!
Thank you Janis for the last line! It reads much better. :)
I thought it was mud
And horrors…it was quicksand
Yes! Pay attention…
I was 12 and roaming a construction site with a friend. I decided to take a short cut and jumped into the “muddy” pond. The harder I tried to get out, the more I was slowly being pulled down. My friend found a worker nearby who had rope and pulled me out. To this day I believed he saved my life. Yes, pay attention before jumping.
Never ever think about mud, but this awakened a memory. The clay soil in my parents’ backyard made some delicious black mud when you sprayed it with a hose in summer. We kids loved to swish through it with our bare feet, letting the mud dry, then repeating the process. That’s how we made “mud shoes”!
