Air to earth, air to earth

Fruit juice everywhere...
-Thomas Dolby

The swallows and the starlings return, but
are only pinpricks hovering high in a cold blue sky.
A icy March wind passes through me while flying north,
chilling face and hands, driving spring into retreat.

I drop my eyes from the horizon to the ground.
I drop all expectations from my point of view.
I narrow my field of vision, I focus on what is,
reducing the journey to a single step at a time.
I watch myself putting one foot in front of the other.

Your pain is the breaking of the shell
that encloses your understanding.
-Kahlil Gibran

I am responsible for my thoughts and feelings.
I am responsible for my needs.
I am responsible for myself.
I take care of myself.
I have within myself the answers to all my needs.
I can fill all my needs
if I am willing to pay the price.

Many of us are on this journey together
and yet we are separated, for whatever reasons.
We feel lost, with no direction or guidance on
what we are to do next. We are fearful of
taking a risk and reaching out... afraid that
we will be abandoned or rejected along the way.
So we choose to keep to ourselves and miss out
on the opportunities our life holds before us.
This is not an easy journey.
