I cling to a feeling I cannot describe.

It/'/s a sense really - an all-knowing.
A mystery I cannot catch a glimpse of - but I know it/'/s there.

Adventures won, adventures lost. Those waiting . . .

An anxious distress . . . because while my heart hungers, it feeds me from a well that I must betray.
A sadness overcomes me and I dream a different dream - one where I do no wander or want, but my spirit is peaceful and delights in the familiar.

But, that familiar place is one of danger. As long as I continue to make space in my heart for the unknown and unintended - I need not feel the pangs of growth, loneliness, or loss.

But, it lingers . . . Hugging that line.

Chasing my subconscious and hijacking my dreams.

That little sickness in the pit of my stomach . . .

Can I satisfy those wanting souls?

But I smile. It has all been so good. I am blessed.
