ANOTHER POST

10/12/11

I've got four more of these,

backlogged in my drafts file they are.

Don't want to bury you with my musings

but today's a different day.

A number of you

have continued to implore me to write more

and so that is why I post this day.

For last night, I did start a book.

A dear friend removed my block. 

By asking but a simple question,

in an e-mail over the weekend,

"How did you and Jane meet?" she asked.

For I'd pondered where to start

aimless I was for a few weeks.

But that one question released it all

for now I knew where to start

and so I did.

Couldn't sleep

Came down to write I did. 

So it's 2 hours of writing I did do.

Someday to share it with you.

For I know not how long it will take.

Nor how it will be received.

Nor to where it will actually lead.

Maybe it's just a legacy for my grandkids

and their kids that I leave behind. 

Those of you who offered help. 

I'll be in touch.

For I'm not real secure in this venture

and will need encouragement

again I'm sure.

I'm reminded of the most famous verse

of the Tao Te Ching:

A journey of 1,000 miles

begins with but one step.

So as I leave you today

take the risk, begin something new

or try something different.

Stretch from the known to the unknown.

For I know not where I'm going

other than that

I've taken the very

first step.

You are not a drop in the ocean.

You are the entire ocean in a drop.

- Rumi -
