As I was driving to the airport today to start on my adventure I thought to myself how wonderfully different the last two days have been! Summer is beginning to put on her fall face and my favorite season is almost at hand ...
During the past week much has happened that has changed my life again - some good, some bad but mostly positive. Several possessions long held have been exchanged for new and time itself has winked at me and invited me to join the party again. So I thought to myself perhaps it was time for me to rethink myself as well. To regenerate and become someone new too.
As I considered my situation I remembered a poem that I had put into my closet last year and decided that it was time to bring it into the sun light again. It goes something like this:
There was this young boy who walked through life as though it were a dream. He danced and played in the gaze of the sun and slept in arms of the moon.
One day the sun it did not shine and the moon in turn could not reflect. Perplexed the boy asked of time where is it that I might find my light?
Time replied - there is no light that I can see for without the sun there cannot be. But the moon is still here and perhaps if we still hear we might live in the silence of its ear.
There was then an old man who found solace in the silence of the moon. While his body was there it could not be seen nor could it be touched until the suns light would once again let it be such.
So let it be said that life if well read can exist in it's own cocoon. But while sleeping in such must be nourished by touch and if so will respond with a bloom.
My hope is that all we find our own special person or thing to illuminate our lives and touch us with the beauty that only love can bring.
