Movin' On - Discovery

Life is a strange thing.
Years and years living beside the river. Watching the trees grow big and stately. Watching the deer and the antelope play.
and then - driving away. Packing it all up and driving down the country road. To parts unknown.
Strange. Not just the doing of it. But the living of it.
Strange new towns and people. Strange new smells and air and sounds.
New golf courses and new food.
New weather and sunsets and oceans.
Somehow or other we never think about where we came from or where we're going.
We don't wonder about the old house. We don't wonder about the river.
We never even think about that life.
We start each day as if it were the first day.
Just as easily as that.
No big deal. No tossing and turning. No angsting about the past. No sobbing into pillows.
A day at a time. Smile at the sun. Hug the good mornings. Yawn the good nights.
We still have down days. We still have nights where sleep is scarce.
We still have disagreements. We still have spaces that are still.
But we forge ahead with vigor. We mostly feel enriched.
Will this last?
