Voyage June 14, 2017June 14, 2017 My tasks complete i rose before the early dawn, gave one last listen to the great lake and the wrangling sound of ten thousand migrating geese and mallard ducks closed my eyes and breathed the last purest air i’d breathe for months to come, turned away from the tree i’d lived within and walked away from the planet i’d been living on for two lunar cycles into the surrounding universe i’d soon be moving through inside my rolling ship The Explorer … My destination 2000 light years from this my home away from home back to the land of the midday sun its torpid heat south of the border that defines my heart … I dared not turn and face that planet and my tree one more time. Better to leave well enough alone than take the chance its gravity would capture my mind, drag me back and swirl me down another rabbit hole inside some left over task … an inevitability since there’s ALWAYS something more to do … ! Much too easy it would be to seek and find further excuse to stay and find another destination away from where i knew i had to go … I needed to break free(!) of the freedom i had known! My life of duty would guide me home … all good things most often end and after all … the other world I lived within? i called it home …. continued; Past Arborland into the Flatlands Share this:TwitterLinkedInRedditPocketPinterestPrintEmailMoreFacebookLike this:Like Loading...
