50 Things I’ve Learned in 50 Years…#16
#16.”Worrying is a waste of time, but that won’t stop me.”
Aguirre Springs near Las Cruces, New Mexico.
What could be
Is nothing more than fear
Merely stopping you in your tracks
To steal your moments
Pocket your dreams
And play with your intentions
When You Can’t Slow Down
Mind sinking into neutral gear
While car just never stops
Blurs of beauty to my right
Desert dreams to my left
Hiking mountains in my mind
As colours sweep by in foreign hues
Land of enchantment at my door
But I can only take these shots
Good intentions, greater hopes
All but shatter in the wind
I reach to hold on to a cloud
As shadows race across the sky
Destination pushes on
Journey…………lost
My heart is pulling over
Aching for my feet to touch ground
Climbing mountains in my mind…..
Every time I see a mountain, I want to climb it.
Admiring it from afar is not enough.
It seems too easy.
It beckons me to touch it’s windswept surface.
I completely lose my sense of judgment as I eye up the rugged rock basking in the sun.
From a distance, the idea seems so achievable…a piece of cake.
With that in mind, I imagine what I’d take with me for the ascent.
Protein bars and water should suffice. What more would I need?
The beauty seems to outweigh the danger as I admire the jagged peaks reaching majestically towards the clouds or perhaps….heaven.
It is raw.
It is untouched, waiting for soft hands and trusty hiking boots to politely interrupt it’s desolate existence.
It may be towering, but many have climbed a tower.
One foot in front of the other, I surely know how to climb.
What is the source of my hesitance?
A tiny but ever so present voice telling me no is all that stops me.
The voice of reality as we have been taught.
A whisper of sensibility branded in my brain, reasoning me down from my earthy ideas.
“Someday” is all I can say.
“Somehow” is not in my vocabulary for I have already scaled the mountain many times in my sleep, in my dreams ….. in my mind.
