“I will stay in my
bed and write poems about how I will wait for you.” –Janette…ikz
I like this quote a
lot. I like it because I, too, am staying in my bed writing poems. But I’m
done waiting. I’m off and running into adventure and life and joy and Jesus.
Full sprint ahead. I’m going. Love, you are welcome to run with me, but I’m not
waiting. You can come, but I’m going.
If you’re up ahead
on the trail and want to take a rest in the shade of a Willow and wait for me,
I’ll meet you when I get there. But if you want to keep running, that’s
admirable too. As long as you stay on the trail, I’ll catch up.
So you can run
alongside, if you like. When I glance sideways I’ll be happy to see you there,
but I’m not sticking around. I’m off to chase the King, the Light, the Lion who
is not tame but is good.
And if we both reach
home not having found each other, that’s okay too, because finding you is not
my goal in this glorious adventure we call life.
See you sooner or later, love.
