Crossroads

Crossroads: what an all-encompassing concept.
When you are at the crossroads you pause, contemplating, and making choices.

When you are at the crossroads you pause and leave something there, something that no longer benefits you, something you need to let go of and not look back on.

When you are at the crossroads you pause to leave Her an offering. You may be asking or expressing gratitude. 

When you are at the crossroads you pause.  This gives you time to focus, to pray, to state intentions, to breathe, to listen.  Being at the crossroads puts you in a place of power, of high energy, and you make the choice which direction to go.

And here I stand at the crossroads, pausing, knowing that I will need to choose whether to keep going or change direction. 

And here I stand at the crossroads, pausing, knowing that I need to let go of my fear and crippling insecurity; both rational and irrational.

And here I stand at the crossroads, pausing, and asking Her for strength and resiliency.   But I also stand here, pausing, in reverence, with tears of thankfulness trickling down my cheeks.  I realize I have so very much to share.

And here I stand at the crossroads, pausing, knowing that my next step, in whatever direction I choose, is my new beginning!  This road may have some sharp turns and potholes but with the Goddess the scenery will always be extraordinary.
