to get outside of oneself
the real challenge
far from humdrum
far from indifference
far from shutting down to cope
to see the world in a new place
in a new way
something like hope rekindled
reinventing daily life
taking time to ponder
the path one is on
the meaning of it all
distant glory
slow approach
no matter how close
we seem to get
far-offness remains
beauty unattainable
beckoning us on
