Wander Long

a rehash of thought

to wander long to wander far

follow any evening star

wander wide - wherever you go

the choice is yours alone you know

to swim within life’s beauty

immersing deep down to your bones

inhale essence into your vitality

and yet - know we die alone

through existence keep traversing 

embrace the highs the lows

awareness right here in the present  

you’ve all you need to know

gifted with this life -

live it soft or live it hard

exercise you knowingness

play your favorite card

 

it may seem elusive

yet the path is ever there

life patiently awaits 

for those who dream to dare 

to acknowledge all within you

is all you need to know

to dance -  yes dance! right into life 

animate your unique show 

allow yourself permission

get lost along the way 

loose all sense of direction 

cast trepidation right away 

skim upon the surface

submerge into the deep 

envelop the expansiveness

life's a gift - and yours to keep

Some nice lines in there along with some well known phrasing.

Harlequin, what would you do if you could dance yourself to death? I'd like to see your words answer that question.

nows that's something worthy of a ponder ...

thanks for sharing

some don't dream to dare, and they really miss out on much of what life can offer...they wonder, but never wander.

and life is a gift we need to appreciate...

and there are many different kinds of dances...even a slow dance gets us on our feet.

nicely worded piece, got me thinking....i like that.

[KWP]

thanks jacob - I appreciate words that get me thinking too ...ahhhh ice-cream (as she slides onto another tangent of life)

hehe xx

[Rene Salinas]

One of the immediate sensations I get when I read your writings is that fueled desire of looking at life with rampant enthusiasm. To be patient, not to miss the subtleties that at times want to reveal things to us. To listen carefully at the unending melody and manifestation as they want to tell us something. To accept as when we embrace we know more than when we fight. Just look at life with equanimity and with devotion as what needs unfolding will eventually be presented to you.

A magnanimous disclosure!

Thankyou

[KWP]

cheers Rene - sometimes i feel my words are too simple - but then I think if easily taken in they may just stir a thought of two ... xxx thanks for reading

[Rene Salinas]

I think I know what you mean. Any deviation from who you are will cause a stir. I read this thing from a Sanskrit translation and it translated something like "To be more of what we areally are and less of what ae are not" Terrible riddle...

[KWP]

ahhhh yes zeropoint right in the middle keeping the balance - i love that Sanskrit saying thanks for sharing ... PS - will be hanging out in India and Nepal for seven weeks in 10 days !!! oooo la la my minds races and calms at the same time - if you know what I mean :D
