You
can never go home again.
True words.
Once you
have pried yourself from your comfortable spot there is no turning back. You
are propelled into a swirl of unknowns with only a small tool kit to help you
navigate. You do your best. The allure of excitement and the prospect of
discovery sustains you for a period but your heart never forgets. The tug for
the familiar becomes so great that your memory changes all that is past into
some glory days of wonder and greatness.
You know the truth but you cannot escape .Around and around you go in
your quest to be safe again or think that you are. How is that possible? There
is only now and what consequences have been brought must now be answered. So
again a choice. The old and familiar? Or continue on into what may be? Is there
really a choice?
There is no
certainty that is certain. I have accepted my journey as one that will always
be unknown. In that there must be comfort. I do not want to go back – there is
no back-only forward. I want to find peace with all that has happened so that
there can be calm. Calm in my mind, in my heart and in my soul.
Happy New Year!
hmmm...very deep thoughts to start out the new year.The old and familiar can be quite comforting and it is always a challenge to take that leap and try something new. You certainly have had many adventures over the last few years and made lots of new memories to cherish. I wish for you peace and happiness. And remember home is where your heart is!(you know me a little corny)
