The Call to Adventure

The call to adventure is the point in a person's life when they are first given notice that everything is going to change, whether they know it or not.

your footprint landed square in the palm of the great mother's hand;

you tickled her skin with all your pacing.

when the moon pulls herself up to sing,

sometimes you are the only one listening.

(so you think)

(so you think)

just because the night has fallen, don't assume for a moment that no one sees how you dance; hands like rain, you spin like sand turning into glass.

every color shines in you when the sun finally wakes and rises.

gulls gossip about their dreaming.

with this next step, you arrive to a moment you've not met before.

draw on the thing inside you that recognizes its own face in the stars;

in the stature of a well rooted tree.

courage resides within your bones and breath.

pray only that your walking will carry you home again.

pray only for the trust in the journeying.
