Miles to Go

The road doesn’t ask
if we’re ready.
It only opens.

Snow hushes doubt,
but not resolve.
Not the promise made
to keep walking.

I don’t walk ahead.
I don’t pull.
I stay beside—
listening to breath,
to trust,
to the quiet weight
of what still matters.

There are miles to go,
yes.
But not alone.
And not without purpose.

    A grounded piece Maggie – about the ‘long game’ of devotion. It feels like a promise kept in real-time❤️
