vast, and spread out before us - ours!
the dawnings and sunsets each unique and familiar,
but wild and surprising, simultaneously
and we can at least claim that
if we're afraid to grab the rest -
and a little bit afraid
of being afraid.
But what are hands if not to touch - to hold?
why exist our feet except for walking?
where to go first? walk, and see...
it's nice to look, but more fun to touch.
Go ahead - get your hands dirty
you'll get There eventually, and in the meantime
isn't it awful nice to be Here?

p.s. I'm happy to be right here... and I'm happy that you're here, too.

Olivia this is so perfect. I have so many changes getting ready to happen in my life right now and I honestly have no idea what I'm going to do...but I want to enjoy the wild unknown.
ReplyDeleteIt's so scary, Ashlyn!! I'm feeling it, too! Everything in my life is just teetering on the edge of something, and I'm trying to enjoy the here and now without panicking too much, but it's HARD! We can figure life out together. :)
