Just One Thing

I look around in despair. So much to do; so many decisions to make. Do any of these actions get me closer to where I am supposed to be or am I like the hamster futilely running on the treadmill of life?

I need something to fill up the emptiness inside.

Something stronger than the pain in my bones and heart.

Something so compelling that it overcomes my depleted energy stores.

I have known it before. This thing that I seek. Yet in this place I find myself it seems outside my grasp.

This place too I have been to before though it is not quite the same as before; nor am I for that matter. Yet I know only one path out of this place. That never changes.
I must do just one thing. The one thing I know I can do no matter how small. Then when it is done I must do just one more thing. Activity creates momentum.

Before I know it this place will be but a memory of a lonely place I once visited and I will be too consumed with the thing I now seek to give it much thought.

Who am I? I am a good girl and a wild child all rolled into one. I am a little bit of everyone whose life has touched mine. I have held and hold many roles and titles. I am educated by both life and by halls of advanced education. I am a dreamer of far-flung dreams and a practical person with a firm grasp on reality. I am a human with an abundance of love, curiosity, and hunger.  Above all else I am a helper of my fellow humans who hopes when she leaves this world it is a little better for her having been in it.
