I am standing on the cusp of a new beginning many said I was foolish to pursue. That what I wanted was way beyond my expectations, way beyond the station of a person such as I.
It is true many seasons have passed where I have happily hibernated away from the world, safe in my small corner of the globe.
But today as I look across the lavender fields all aglow in violet waving gently as the breeze meanders its way across these vast expanses on this warm sunny day in April, I know my desire to act has arrived.
I have not made this journey lightly. Months of thought and preparation have gone into this day. Despite the scare mongers and worry arts, who from the safety of their own social consciousness, felt obliged to caution me my action and in so doing destroy my dream. My resolve however has been made all the more stronger.
I will undertake this journey, now, today, no longer caught up in the cocoon of my own fear and hesitation, but ready to bust forth, my inner beauty released, my external fortitude focused on my prize.
resolution made
a step into the unknown
chrysalis reborn

I like that. A new beginning. Ending the old one to start something more promising. Excellent 🙂
Thanks so much Al. Pleasure to contribute.
You’re welcome, and thanks 🙂
As the reader of this piece, I was able to think of the person speaking in my own way since you didn’t reveal and that was a great treat to the reader. I loved it.
Thank you so much Maryann, i am so pleased you enjoyed my post.
Indeed you have written as if this could be any of us, rebirth, jumping in the deep end, throwing care to the wind. Excellent Haibun my friend.
Thank you Jenny, I enjoy writing these. Lovely comment thank you so much.
My pleasure Michael
Wow – what a way to start a new phase in your life. How wonderful to feel so free.
Thanks so much Suzanne it certainly is.
Now that’s the way to go Michael! Wonderful Haibun! Be free my friend, be free.
Thank you Jackie I fully intend to be so.
A refreshing feel to this one.
Thank you I think so too.
Micheal, another mysterious one. A sleight of hand, revealing, concealing. If you are indeed bravely embarking, then bon voyage, and may the wind always be at your back. 🙂
Thank you Brenda I hope it is too. I like I can leave you wondering but in time maybe all will be revealed.
You are a tease.
I have to have some secrets Brenda. What is life and fun without a secret or two?
LOL I was only teasing.
So am I….lol
aloha Michael. i like that your words speak of any of us on the journey only one person can take. gathering strength is in many ways an individual process. you put forth a great insight. journey on. aloha.
Thanks Rick, I appreciate your comment. I shall continue on my journey.
