We are propelled
into this thing called life,
without a course
or bearing to follow.

Then—
we begin to understand
the voices of guidance.

Then come
the days of rebellion.

And now—
you’ve found your courage
to step onto this path
called life.

By Paul Baldry (LongJohn)

I wrote this as a reflection— on how we begin life uncertain journey, shaped by guidance from our peers, our challenges of rebellion, and slowly finding the courage to choose our own path forward.

Reflections on Life

Self‑Discovery and Identity — “What Was and What Will Be”

“I spent my youth chasing the future.
Now I sit with coffee and watch—
others run toward theirs.”

“The young chase tomorrow with urgency; the old watch it arrive —
with patience.”

By Paul Baldry (LongJohn)
