I walk unsteadily,
like a toddler finding my center of gravity,
arms out for balance,
taking one wobbly step after another,
crossing the threshold into a life I have never known.
A flicker of familiarity encourages me
(I don’t have to leave everything behind)
and the known calms my uncertainty.
Is the light coming from ahead to guide my steps or
from the experiences of my past,
encouraging me onward
to step through the door and
begin this journey into
the next chapter of my life.

Beautifully expressed, Madeline. Thank you. ❤️
Thank you.
Fantastic 🙂 I’ve responded on twitter with a field of ‘bouquets’ if you care to take a look: https://twitter.com/ExploringColour/status/1494107046211309569
Thank you Liz. I have been off social media, but I saw the picture. Funny to see a field of bouquets.
I’m glad you did! My imagination’s run riot with the idea of wandering into a field and picking ‘bouquets’ 😀 My idea of paradise!
That would be my idea of paradise, too, since I have no talent for flower arranging and when I cut flowers from my garden, they are always along the lines of free-form flower arranging (as in the flowers decide where they want to go).
Oh that adds a new dimension, flowers that decide where they want to go! 😀
