Standing on a cliff over looking the ocean of life

There are times in a persons life that they find themselves staring at a situation that they could not have seen themself in if they lived to be 1000. I found myself in one of these predicaments a few weeks ago. Not really understanding how I got there or why. It wasn't a new ordeal. I had been here before, but thought I would never return. Funny how fate always reminds us where we are suppose to be. I am standing here on a cliff looking down at what was a great life. Shattered on the rocks below. Not really understanding what has happened yet but realizing it did. I am perplexed in the way life looses itself in the winds and finds itself parelling out of control. In the past I never took the time to look up. I just keep staring down at the rocks and felt that was where I needed to be as well. I looked at the rocks this time at the life I loved so much and realized that there might be more. So I stood there looking as the tides moved in and started to wash the broken pieces away. Then a strong breeze came across and as the waves crashed into the cliff I breathed in the mist of the ocean of life. I can feel the winds blowing on my face, the taste of salt in the air. I see the world in a differant way. A way I have always seen it but not clouded or obscoured by perils. Destiny has laid her hand on my shoulder and showed me that the cliff wasn't the end of my path but an oppertunity for me to change directions. You don't have to jump off of the cliffs you come across in life but to clarify why you have reached them and walk away. I have come across many cliffs large and small. One that I never thought I could walk away from. I do not know what direction I am suppose to go for the first time in most of my life, but I know it is time to change directions or I will end up falling off the cliff.
