Never stagnant, always moving, letting go, grieving and morphing. This is the way it’s meant to be.
JUST BEYOND YOURSELF
Just beyond
yourself.
It’s where
you need
to be.
Half a step
into
self-forgetting
and the rest
restored
by what
you’ll meet.
There is a road
always
beckoning.
When you see
the two sides
of it
closing together
at that far horizon
and deep in
the foundations
of your own
heart
at exactly
the same
time,
that’s how
you know
it's where
you
have
to go.
That’s how
you know
it’s the road
you
have
to follow.
That’s
how you know.
It’s just beyond
yourself,
it’s
where you
need to be.
