I’ve known where I’ve needed to go. But some things don’t come easy and I don’t know why that is. What I do know is that watching shows about animals are surprisingly calming. Ever watch a mass of flamingos wading in the African Great Rift? It totally chills you out. Plus the endless pink is pretty cool to.
Ok, another thing I do know, is when you have a rift in your heart, things don’t come easy. The open space feels endless and all you feel is the endless pain. The Great Rift runs through the Red Sea. The Red Sea is a seawater inlet of the Indian Ocean, lying between Africa and Asia.
Ever feel stretched so thin and far apart it could cause have caused a rift in your heart. “The Rift Valley, is often said to be the cradle of humanity. According to one theory, the Rift Valley itself triggered man’s evolution. Rifting led to frequent climactic and geological change, which forced early hominids to adapt.” ~NGWild
As they adapted to to their changing environments, they thrived. Am I able to do this?
It is something I have thought of for many days. How have we let circumstances of life tear us from ourselves, one another? Hoping one day something else will take it’s place.
Allowing the wrong things fill the space. When the right things were present all along. Waiting for me to surrender into and cleanse away the notions of an old life.
As I ran towards the sea I BELIEVE in the power to mend something that is torn. I finally SEA.
The Other Side Of Everything
“You can’t cross the sea merely by standing and staring at the water.” ~ Rabindranath Tagore
So true. What holds us back in certain situations while in others we are fearless? Is it that we are comfortable. What if it’s because when life settles like the calmness of the sea, we don’t want cast out ripples which could drudge up sediment from the past. What if it’s being riddled with anxiety, of the unknown, and wondering if taking a risk would be better for us than where we are right now. What if there are more challenges and pain in crossing those waters?
For me, all these impediments have been strong.
Fortunately, without risk there is often no reward. Dreaming can keep your drive alive but it’s taking action, execution…which keeps your spirit alive.
Dare to say what if. The other side of everything waits for you.

In my reflection of past moments in my life, I can recall this has been the mission. To obtain it and have an abundance of it. “It” was the goal. Get to one finish line and create another. Why? That was what I thought was the plan.
With a new finish line, preparation and planning (of course) were needed. Only this was not where I was focused. It was motivated by another sort of fulfillment and this continues to be so.
A fulfillment which didn’t, doesn’t cross anything off a list, other than the want in my heart.
There are times when you have to listen to something other than the voices which speak to you from the outside.
When it comes to listening from the inside, it’s usually only one voice which matters. YOURS. MINE.
As I have progressed in my years, I have SEEn how this voice is harder to come by and never of more greater importance.

What do you love? What would existence be in absence of this love? Have you thought about it?
I have.
It’s a world unimaginable to me but one day it could be. And because of this moment of knowing, I want to nurture, encourage, and immerse into it fully. Losing myself in it’s measured composition. Each lyric resonating the current it sails through me.
Without the words, there is no song…without you, there is no me.
