Standing. Looking. Waiting. Where do I go? My yesterdays call me to reminisce on days gone by. My present bids me stay in the familiar. Stay where things are easy. Stay where I'm comfortable.
But something else calls to me. Something I cannot see or touch, yet it draws me. My heart races and my will fights. A silent struggle wages within me. Wanting to stay, but feeling the need to go.
What to do? Oh what to do? After standing still for what seemed my whole life, I did what I thought best. I moved. Just one step....forward. It seemed so insignificant at first. But then I took another step, and another, and still another. I was moving and it felt great. With each new step the call of the past faded. The present became a joy as it brought new opportunities. The future is becoming clearer and brighter, with each new move I make. You might ask me, "what next?" My answer is simple. I will find another person and help them learn how to make their own first move.
