Today
These are heady times. There is an inner peace within. Silently, assured, once more, I can feel it grow. I could tell you of all I’ve seen, but this is my time of year. I’m never quite sure of where it is next I’ll be going, but I always feel I’m gathering, and as light as I feel when I’m away in the world, the greatest feeling is next, I’m never happier than when I turn my thoughts and my footsteps towards home.
Look, tomorrow the sun will shine, today the sun was shining. There could be nothing greater than the peace today, the quiet Sunday afternoon which mentioned nothing, the quiet Sunday afternoons which say nothing at all are the ones I like best. The wind knows which way it blows, that’s all I need for direction sometimes, wherever I am, the going is the living, coming together being the best part, and everything in between is the dues we pay.
Keep in mind the future, keep the past in your heart, most of all, keep on living in the present. Today is beautiful because I have not yet seen tomorrow. Nothing can be better than this day, I look forward to the future with great anticipation. There will be lows to endure, but those are things I have not yet seen, providence looks towards the ascent from those valleys, those peaks where we find each other is what I envision from this vantage, this peak now where we meet.
Share with me what you have found of troubles, confide in me what makes you most happy that we may share what we have found to be most certain, and precious, in life. You are my friend yet still, for you are in my heart, whether you know it or not. You could not cause me pain if you did not ever give me joy, you could not draw tears had you never given me laughter, I would never have known you in the valleys and the darkness below, had I not seen you here in these lofty places, beneath this gentle sun.
These are my dreams, that which has brought me here. It was always my sadness which made me appreciate it though, and too a holy sort of curiosity courses through me. I wonder incessantly, and that is why I wander, I know a hunger for being alive, that is why I am here. I want for nothing, except that I can live on still in this way, I gather around me strength in love, I take from my times of trouble experience to appreciate the wisdom I can find under every stone, along every road, if I just take the time to understand I may never come upon life quite like this again.
So when I say I do not look forward to anything at all, do not fear that I am lost, understand I am exactly where I always intended to be.
