Beleaguered, he set sail. Flowing down the waterfall of existence.
Not sure of what lie ahead but breathtaking scenery, life unfolding in front of him as a petaled flower.
The spider weaves and teases his destiny. As its prey is caught in a silky veil, so are we.
Stuck in holes and crevasses tight and unyielding.
So dark and terrifying…
Why would they exist in the first place?
Journeyed far and wide, wondering in spirit, he found no real answer.
Only heart, and it was wedged wide open, eager to share his thoughts and life.
Weary, he fell into it. Collapsing with exhaustion and the hardness of it all.
Within the heart, he was lifted again.
Renewed.
Bounding in light and energy.
He knew then that no greater journey existed then the expansive, forbidding one that lie hidden in himself.
The journey to the core and fire deep within.
Here he found strength, laughter, desire and love.
The forces that work upon his life and move him when shadows loom dark and tribulations abound.
He knew then that he must have trust in this unknown, the key to this far-flung goal.
As the unseen is not provable, he must feel the proof within.
He must trust himself.
He must trust his heart.
As he navigates the mighty waves, sailing the seas and stars.
The seas of the heart.
