the bridge

a brother told me one day,” man , why do you keep going around this wisdom tree, while you are trying to get smart, there is a bridge right here that will set you free, and while getting smarter is a noble cause, often the answer is right under our nose”

okay, so i listened and i followed along and then there was an opening and i thought i heard a song, ” seeking knowledge is worthy goal but sometimes we are so busy getting smarter as our life spins out of control”

and there it was just like he said and he put his arm around my shoulder and i felt a weight fall from my head, and as we crossed over, there was a sign that i read, it said ” welcome to freedom, your prison was in your head”

so i hugged my friend, i didn’t want to but i cried, and i said ”i was so busy looking for answers and asking why, when i just needed to listen and trust God would supply”

i cross back over the bridge from time to time, to encourage someone to make the trip just like I, and when they are tired of traveling around the ”wisdom tree” they make the trip across the bridge that sets them free

often ”why needs to take a back seat to faith”
