Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things you didn’t do than the ones you did. So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbor.
Catch the trade winds into your sails.
Explore. Dream. Discover.
~Mark Twain
Last Thursday morning I threw off the ‘bowlines’, ‘caught the trade winds’ and ‘set sail’ for points north: Boston and beyond. It’s a trip I’ve postponed. One I’ve looked forward to. Easter journey. Family. Friends. Freedom from schedules, commitment. Alone time. Ten days of rest and relaxation. Wandering. Wondering. It’s been too long….
Rejuvenated. Renewed. C.S. Lewis writes:
“Here the whole world (stars, water, air,
And field, and forest, as they were
Reflected in a single mind)
Like cast off clothes was left behind
In ashes, yet with hopes that she,
Re-born from holy poverty,
In lenten lands, hereafter may
Resume them on her Easter Day.”
Time to find THAT Easter Day. Pray for those special ones who are still with me: heart, heaven… cherish…..take time. Breathe. Journey. Adventure.
Adventure….
Embrace the reflection of who I am still becoming….. 
A mystery of motherhood and middle age….
sometimes leading, sometimes following. 
Fun. Spontaneous. Serendipitous. The magic continues……next week….in living color… Explore. Dream. Discover. Catch the trade winds. Who knows where they may lead….
