My Growth
Saturday, July 1, 2023 by Joan Munro, CPLC

A poem  “My Growth” by Virginia Satir is one that I have posted on my inspiration board. Its poetic and wise simplicity relate to the many responsiblities of adulthood.  Whatever twists and turns surface in your life and relationships, this poem is a reminder that growth isn’t linear, but one step at a time.  

                                        “My growth exisits in new terrirotry, step by step.

                                                      One step ahead -

                                            see what’s there, to the right or the left,

                                            Whichever seem to have the most space

                                                  Does this fit for me?

                                             I can not map it ahead of time.

                                              That’s how it is in the unkown.

                                                Take a step, then see where I go,

                                                     keeping in mind

                                              where I might like to end up.

                                            I may end up somewhere else;

                                   maybe at a place better than what I thought of.

                                             But that is the way, step by step.”
