    Q & A

    Who is the dreamer of the dream?

    It is the steed that wins the race

    Despite the reins of fear in place

    Beating past the winds of doubt

     

    What is the dream that captures me?

    Not knowing

    With calm acceptance

    Intrigued

    Over-stimulated

    Excited by sheer possibility

     

    Where is the place that I belong?

    Curious exploration

    Without borders or worries

    Foreign tongues

    Spontaneous adventures

    Uncertainty and Excitement

    No thoughts of tomorrow

    Content with today

     

    When will my eyes meet the summit?

    My climb could take years

    The end so high it reaches the heavens

    Yet

    I forge ahead

    Proud of my gains

    Looking back over my shoulder

    Slips and stumbles coming to mind

     

    But knowing when I make it atop

    I will be

    Giddy like Columbus or Vespucci

     

    Fulfilled

    Never needing to

    Reach outwardly for that same feeling

     
    But then again

    Maybe the summit is just the beginning….

    (Maybe the summit is just the beginning….) - Indeed! A master once asked a young Bruce Lee -what is the greatest technique to learn?- in which Bruce replied -there is no greatest technique- Perhaps growth is only itself. Growth. These are all excellent lines (Not knowing With calm acceptance), (Excited by sheer possibility), (Uncertainty and Excitement), (No thoughts of tomorrow Content with today). A poem that sees the beauty of humbleness. Where pride sees obstacle, humbleness sees opportunity. Enjoyed the read. Sometimes the journey is more rewarding than the destination.

    Very nice. The struggle, always the struggle. Then the struggle once more - and again. LIFE!

    Thx, Madelynn!

    If I feel physically as if the top of my head were taken off, I know that is poetry.

    Emily Dickinson (1830-1886) American poet.
