Riding the Waves…when we are inspired, we explore, we reach higher, we soar!
“One doesn’t discover new lands without consenting to lose sight of the shore for a very long time.” Andre Gide
Riding the Waves
There’s a sound and it’s roaring,
Yes, it is calling my name.
I wonder, shall I answer?
If I do, will I ever be the same?
It is strong and demanding.
It beckons my heart…”Come to me!”
It is bold, it is fresh…
like waves rushing out to sea.
There’s a sound and it’s roaring,
I worry…I cannot swim!
I don’t know, where will it take me?
Is it for real, or simply a whim?
I am told for a seed to grow,
it must wither and die.
I can see the shore in the distance.
Step out and wade toward it, shall I?
There’s a sound and it’s roaring,
Okay, I shall take a dive!
Though I am tossed to and fro,
riding the waves, I am alive!

My life is full of wonder right now… I feel as if I am on the edge of my seat! I can’t look back, only forward…what is there awaiting me? I am afraid, yet I am not…I am weak, yet there is a power within me that propels me forward. What is that thing that won’t let me dwindle? What is that thing that keeps my eyes wide open, not wanting to miss what there is to see? Indeed, I feel as though I am riding the waves…heading toward a distant shore…one full of hope, one full of life!
Peace and love,
Felecia

It’s about taking a leap of faith; although sometimes a scary circumstance to place yourself.
Indeed Lew…scary and invigorating all at once…splash!
Love and peace,
