Adventures Abound

ADVENTURES ABOUND

I looked over the cliff

The breeze upon me

Strong and stiff

I gaze beyond

To the myriad of choices

That abound

I stay within

My comfort zone

The pretense being

My skills to hone

Countless days

Roll one into another

An even keel set

And nary a bother

Yet instinctively I see

How much more

I want to be

And from the doldrums

To be set free

I breathe deep

And awaken

From my self-imposed sleep

And into the void

I take a leap

As I fall

Into that place

To which

I am meant to face

I reflect upon

The events transpired

And those hopes and wishes

I once desired

I now let fate take me

Where I need to go

Towards a future

I do not know

But certain am I

Either way to grow

What is it for

That I live

Ti’s the opportunity

With my all to give

The changes within

Already begin

Ere the unknown destiny

I find myself within

The greatest adventure

Begins with one step

No matter how inept

The unknown

I do accept

-Shiidon, March 2012

So I find myself in the middle of the Fast.  Bahá'í's do not eat from sunrise to sunset from March 2nd to March 20th culminating with our New Year, the first day of Spring, March 21st.  So far things have been fine.  I have reflected upon much during these days of fasting.  One thing that has stuck with me during my meditations is that one can't sit and wait for life to happen, one must arise and take steps towards their destiny and then follow the signposts along the way.  I am tired and therefore won't put much here.  I thought  a photo of dinner would bring color to the page and strike home on what it means to be on a fast.
