A new journey beckons.
Walking the cliffs of life
peering over the jagged edges
soil crumbling
falling into an abyss
echoes of tiny rocks against
waves crashing up on unseen seas...........
OMG! How dreadful!
Let me try that again…..
A new journey beckons,
after walking the deep valleys
and scaling dizzying cliffs of life,
Events become important memories but
in the midst are the energy and resiliency
of riding life’s white water rapids,
patience while becalmed in glittering sunshine,
tenacity inside gripping fear in that road
persistence along roads long and colourless
A new journey beckons ~
a challenge to walk into today and tomorrow
to find and experience the depth
of many new travels
in my kitchen, in books or on the road.
Standing at the edge of a cliff.
gazing out over misty land, lakes and rivers ahead
making certain to step back from the edge
and to smile into the new journey that beckons.
“….there ain’t no journey what don’t change you some.”
~ David Mitchell, Cloud Atlas
