-- Into the Unknown --

John Herlihy

 

I have not been reluctant to take

Some baby steps into the unknown

I have not been unwilling to make

A journey I have never before known

Truth to tell, I welcome any change

To break all those routines in my day

Unfamiliar rhythms will life rearrange

New tones and melodies have their say

We need to open the doors of mystery

Secrets are revealed never before known

Fear not as mystery brings hope to see

The loving intimacies into life’s fabric sewn

Willing to abandon the world of the known

Willing to embrace the world of the unknown

- - - - - -

I'VE ALWAYS BEEN A PRETTY CONTENTED PERSON, IN THAT WHAT LIES BEFORE ME IS USUALLY SATISFYING ENOUGH. I FIGURE WHAT ALL GOD WANTS ME TO KNOW, HE WILL MAKE SURE IT IS REVEALED TO ME. AND I CAN ACCEPT THERE ARE SOME THINGS...HE REALLY DOES WANT TO REMAIN A 'MYSTERY' TO US...ON THIS SIDE OF HEAVEN. SO I CAN WAIT. GREAT RHYME SCHEME, THANKS. LOVE, BLESSINGS AND FAITH...HIS+ INSPIRATIONS

Some of us have little choice but to be pulled kicking and screaming into The New by our own adventurous nature. Unfortunately for me I have an equally strong desire to remain in my rut. There is a continual struggle between the two over my heart and mind that is never ending, but I'm always happy when the adventurous side wins!

I can relate. I've always been one to make my own path, or take a road just to see where it goes.
