I’ve been standing on either an Island or a peninsula for a while, I started surrounded by mist so that all I could see was land, those around me said, “we must stay where we are we are on solid land, where we can not see is dangerous, there is quick sand, there are dragons, there all sorts of danger” So I stayed afraid to move. Then people I knew started to go a little way returning and saying it’s fine, there are all sorts of exciting things to discover, come see. I tentatively started to move, some said, stay where it is safe, while others said come see. I moved slowly, yes it was different, and some of it dangerous until I learnt to appreciate the differences, to work with them, to learn from them. I made drips back to where I had come from, and said there is more to see, but people just looked at me strangely. Where I went there was interesting things, yes there were dragons, but some were friendly, while others made me think, and deal with situations as I moved away from them. As I was travelling the mist was still there, but I was not seeing more just different, but I knew what else was there, I was seeing a bigger picture, but I had to remember and learn from what had happened and I could no longer see. After some time I came to the coast. I looked out I could see sea, with different lands, maybe they were joined and I was looking at a vast inland sea, or maybe there were Islands, I couldn’t tell because of the mist that seemed to be covering land but not sea. Tied to the rocks was a boat, but a boat which had no motor, it would be taken where it was going by the tide, and currents. I had to decide get in the boat, and find new things, or stay where I knew. If I left I may never come back, if I went yes there would be new discoveries, but was that worth giving up what I had? At the moment it feels like I have just got in the boat. Lets see what comes next!
