Quick view of my life
The Winding Road of Life
by Yvon
Four girls prior to... Splat, a boy!
I started to crawl. I walked and then ran. Played with toys, girls and boys. Went to school, a place I did dread. Participated in sports, grew up and labored at unfulfilling jobs.
Smoked pot, did LSD, mushrooms and coke. Got drunk a lot and partied around- was lost in my head.
Sought out the true meaning of life and journeyed into deeper darkness than drugs- was lost to the world.
Looked to Eastern religions, to calm my distorted soul. I was a long way from reality. Experimented with spirituality that I'd stay clear of today. Then I was blessed and guided by a Divine Teacher, she taught me a new way of life.
For years the struggle was just to clear out my destructive past. Meditation pulled the hell from my soul. Today the recovery is still a living process.
Amen!

It is kind of hard to put such a varied life into this small box of words, but, hey, I tried.
