&lt;p&gt;      I at a place in my Life, the transition from adolescence to adulthood, where all the thoughts i've accumulated these past years, are seeming quite useless.  I've not arrived at the crux between thought and action.  The thoughts i've had have lifted me to the highest of heights, induced such elevating experiences in my body, but just as the tide comes and goes, so do these feelings, and so do the thoughts.   So here I am, on a ledge, no Im on the last step of the staircase back to Earth after taking the Long staircase up to Heaven.  Have faith I'm told, just try something, the first step in action is always a blind step for no one knows where it will lead, you can always change direction, so MOVE.  
I hesitate, why should take one step, why should I.  I found what i was looking for, and i can find it again.  Why should i take the risk of stepping on a false surface, or accidentaly stepping on someone elses path or toes even.  Im safe on the step,  Im safe just surviving, paying my bills, living a modest life, and not doing anything with the mental journey i just took. Then my inner guide starts it up:
'Chicken',

Iam what I eat

'eat something else'

I like chicken

'Do you like being a Chicken'

Dont see any wrong in it

'Then Let me ask you...Why did the Chicken cross the road?'

Because it didnt know the risk it was taking with all the cars that could come along, it didnt know if the pavement was hot, It didn't know that it could be killed, loose a foot, get lost forever, never find its way back,  It didn't know what it was doing!

'WRONG! the chicken crossed the road because it saw the otherside and wanted to go there,  It wanted to get to the OTHER SIDE!!!!'

What was so great about the OTHER SIDE?

'That is what the chicken wanted to find out'

thanks for reading, Ive been walking along my side of the road for quite some time, I almost ready to cross,  I hope that i make it.

 &lt;/p&gt;
