The journey is HERE

A song

Verse 1

I used to talk about the road I’m on,

Like it started here and goes on long,

Pointing forward, checking signs,

Always one step behind my life.

But I got tired of watching me walk,

Tired of turning breath into talk.

Chorus

The journey is this,

Not out there, not ahead,

It’s beating in my chest,

Moving through my legs.

The path is not a picture I hold—

It’s the ground I’m standing on.

Verse 2

The seeking used to sound like lack,

Like something lost I had to track,

But when I felt it in my skin,

It wasn’t absence — it was the wind.

A pull, a warmth, a quiet yes,

Life leaning forward - into itself.

Chorus

The journey is this,

Not a story I tell,

It’s the depth of this moment

Now i know it so well.

The path is not a map I read—

It’s the step that is happening.

Bridge

Appreciation changed the view,

Not by ending what I do,

But by stepping off to the side,

And letting life move me from deep inside.

Final Chorus

The journey is this,

Seeking too,

When it’s felt instead of reviewed.

No outside, no distant goal,

Just life unfolding whole.

The path didn’t vanish when I saw—

I finally walked it as it in the raw.

Outro

Not beyond.

Not before.

Right here — right now

From deep inside.

From deeply NOW!
