This is love: to fly toward a secret sky, to cause a hundred veils to fall each moment. First to let go of life. Finally, to take a step without feet.- Rumi

HEART SONG; AN ODE TO LOVE AND LONGING
Longing is the tool of the soul
Drawing us out from our safe foals
The yearn to connect and care
Is ever present is the air
Oh what blissful aroma the heart emits
Though it is far easier to quit
We must step out from our comfortable routines and caves
Entering the world of risk, emotion and waves
Crashing into both life’s challenges and raves
Asking us to to come alive, take a chance and surf the waves
– muse brad
Surf on my dear readers. May your Valentine’s Day be filled with sweet longing.

Ah, to leave the “safety” of the shore and dive into love’s waiting waves is (in my humble opinion) the very definition of “living.” The ride outweighs the risk. I love your poetry so…Happy surfing, Dear Brad. xo

Hi dear Shauna, I agree, but sometimes I enjoy sitting on the shore watching the waves 🙂 Sounds like you know more about surfing than I do. I loved your post today. To love in whatever form it takes, cyber hugs, brad

Yes, I can definitely relate to the need to enter the world of “waves,” as opposed to the world, perhaps, of stagnant water. At this point I’ve come to believe that, when I’m living a life that contains a fair bit of anxiety (which mine does right now), I’m on the right track.

Thanks Chris. Sounds like a brave and wise course. Sometime I get stuck in the fear. Other times, as you mention, going through it is often the door to another level, insight etc. I appreciate your thoughtful comments, and your blog. brad
