MY HOPE IS NOT WAYWARD

THIS TIME

"I've been sitting watching life pass from the sidelines
Been waiting for a dream to seep in through my blinds
I wondered what might happen if I left this all behind
Would the wind be at my back? Could I get you off my mind?"


As it now stands; the waters are stagnant with no prospect of a burst of wind to move me onward. That is not to say that my own hope is wayward by any means.
I find that I am surprisingly encouraged...
Perhaps there is not wind at the moment to propel me onward; but that just means I have a little more time to soak in the water and swim.
It is refreshing, restorative, exhilarating.

It gives me much needed time to focus on, and consider what is possibly to come next for me in this tempestuous adventure.
I am in no hurry to find out what dream I may have had that could come to fruition.
The world is a wide open place full of interminable possibilities.
If I attempt to analyze and repress every little new thing; I am never going to live.
Not truly...

So right now, I am just enjoying the ride.
Or the stillness of waiting...
And this time...

I'M OKAY

  1. Soak my dear, soak!
    ..."my hope is not wayward"...
    Hope is an ethic of pilgrimage for strangers on their way home.
