i wonder at certain times about
what will be, where i’ll be
in the years ahead of me
not in a wishy-washy sense
pondering the material or the incidental
(although i can fall into that)
more like, will my dreams manifest?
i’ve learned it can be better
when they don’t; new dreams unfolding
unthought of opportunities knocking (tap, tap)
answering desires previously unacknowledged, previously unknown
i don’t wonder up the past
all that much. (try not to.)
looking back doesn’t move you forward
at least not that quickly; plus
talk about a serious tripping hazard!
and i have places to go. 🙂

Wondering about the future can be exciting and inspiring, yet sometime a little scary. 🙂

I love the last six lines. Sure, there’s no reason to be tripping over the past. Great stuff!

It’s interesting how both of our posts this week look at time and life trajectories. I love what you say about dreams that don’t manifest. There is a Joseph Campbell quote that I love: We must be willing to get rid of the life we’ve planned, so as to have the life that is waiting for us. As you have so beautifully articulated, those previously unknown desires can sometimes be the most powerful.

Looking forward in wonderment is a
great way to prevent inevitable falls!
