Joshua's Odyssey
from The Mind Speaks Hosted by Robert Vergeson
We all have paths we need to travel in life. The journey can be fraught with trials and tribulations when we consider what our past was like growing up. For some our childhood is one of happiness and free of turmoil. For many it is not, and the journey we take toward our adulthood is difficult. Joshua was a young boy when he had to face the stark reality of losing a father to suicide, a very public suicide. His journey has been tough given his haunts, and upbringing. His choices in life have been influenced by these haunts. Joshua's Odyssey is a ballet I wrote as I helped in many ways to guide this youth though his troubled times. It is about the tears, about hope, about love, about encouragement, and about the journey we all must take and often repeat many times before we reach our journeys end. I should know, my journey has been an odyssey where I have experienced much in finding hope and encouragement, looking for love and acceptance. Joshua's Odyssey has been a journey of 20 some years, mine has been 69 years. The paths have been much the same. In the end, I discovered that the love I was looking for was always there, right where God put it. I can only hope that Joshua will find it in time before it is too late.
