I dont know where life is taking me. All I can see is where I have been. If I keep looking back I will never make any new moves forward. But it is so tempting at times to just stay right where I am. It's like standing on a rock in the middle of a river. Sure it's a bit slippery but if I stand still I dont think I will fall.
When I do look back I can see the long stretch of rocks that I have stepped across. They didnt all seem so dangerous at the time. But looking back now I can see many of them and wonder to myself just how I managed. The smaller rocks between them have seemed to have been washed away. That makes me wonder will I find them again down the line?
But here I now stand in the middle of the River looking at the rocks before me. Which is the safest? All I know is I need to make it to the other side. I dont know what is there, but curiousity drives me to it. Nature has us all born to it.
As the water rushes by I can not tell how deep. If i slip and fall will it drown me? I close my eyes trying not to envision that thought and focus once again upon the rocks of my new choice.
This one is large, rounded and mossy. That one is small and flat.
The other there seems a bit shakey. What choice do I make?
The water becomes more rampid and I am still there. I can no longer see the rock beneath my feet. The current too strong to even think of a move. I am stuck right where i am. The daylight is vanishing and darkness is falling. My vision is blinded.
I close my eyes and decide to sleep. No sense in doing anything else.
In my dream you come to save me. Taking each rock one by one. When I slip you reach for me and help me keep my balance. When you pause considering where next, I patiently wait your decision. When you take the wrong path I pull you back to where I am. This is so much easier with two.
But when I awaken I am still alone although I can now see you. Between us is the rock we shared but you have moved on in a new direction. I watch as you are thinking which way to go. In my heart I am wanting to follow. But I dont want to be in your way. You made it clear that you were not ready to lead and wanted more time to explore.
You seem so at peace with this river. Wanting to know it's every secret and even moving some of the rocks along the way. Perhaps I should let you go explore this on your own. I would only slow you down. So until the time you finally disappear from my line of vision. Patiently I will stay right here and pray that you come back.
If I look one day and you are truly gone. I will gather myself together and begin to carry on
