I guess it’s that time of the year where some look back over the outgoing year. Plans for the new year, a new you. I hope your dreams and hopes rise in the dawning of the new year.
The photo here was taken on my Scottish coast and highland tour last year. I spotted the sun breaking through to light up the mountain behind me. So using the motorcycle mirror to frame the shot also showing the road I had just came down.
Thank you all that visit and support this blog. Your likes and comments, so all that’s left is to wish you all a Happy new year.
(For Cherie)
For a new beginning.
In the out-of-the-way places of the heart,
Where your thoughts never think to wander,
This beginning has been quietly forming,
waiting until you were ready to emerge.
For a long time it has watched your desire,
Feeling the emptiness growing inside you,
noticing how you willed yourself on,
Still unable to leave what you had outgrown.
It watched you play with the seduction of safety
And the grey promises that sameness whispered,
Heard the waves of turmoil rise and relent,
Wondered would you always live like this.
Then the delight, when your courage kindled,
And out you stepped onto new ground,
Your eyes young again with energy and dream,
A path of plenitude opening before you.
Though your destination is not yet clear
You can trust the promise of this opening;
Unfurl yourself into the grace of beginning
That is at one with your life desires.
Awaken your spirit to adventure;
Hold nothing back, learn to find ease in risk;
soon you will be home in a new rhythm,
For your soul senses the world that awaits you.
