“Be not the slave of your own past. Plunge into the sublime seas, dive deep and swim far, so you shall come back with self-respect, with new power, with an advanced experience that shall explain and overlook the old.” ~ Ralph Waldo Emerson

Follow your Road
ayo driving to the creek house (do you like how i took this picture?)
to reinvent,
to move,
to learn a different manner of speaking and being-
to leave one's life style and profession behind
to school for a complete switch in careers as a 46+++
can't be easy.
but my dear brother is in the process of doing it.
for his birthday today i offer some seawind:
With so many roads that seem to lead down to the sea,
I wonder which road will be the right one for me.
Others may fall away, dead ending left and right.
But there is this one road that journeys far out aside.
Have you wondered where your road will lead you?
Maybe to a bright day of sunshine,
or a starry night in heaven.
Or it might be you’re afraid to go, afraid to go,
But you’ve got to follow your road,
or you’ll never know, never know.
We are all but travelers living in a foreign land,
Just trying to find our way best as we can.
Looking for an answer, trying to find some light
And though we have journeyed far,
it's not quite far enough..
Have you wondered where your road will lead you
Maybe to a song that needs singing, or a summer rain
(don’t be afraid to go)
Or it might be you’re afraid to go, afraid to go,
But you’ve got to follow your road, or you’ll never know.
happy birthday ayo.
