It is not easy to live well.
So much of our humanness and vulnerability get in the way.
When the worst happens
we are on pins and needles,
an unquiet that lingers
waiting for the next bad thing.
To break out of peril-mode
takes concentration
a concerted effort to risk and step out in faith.
There is a new and scary knowing
but life stagnates in the shadows.
I dream of living big,
putting off the weights
of all that holds me troubled
and seeking something bold – extravagant
taking me beyond myself.
To share something profound with the world –
not easy
but meaningful never is.
