Setting Out

[This is day two, as I accompany Elizabeth Crawford,
of Soul's Music on our month-long journey of the soul,
using Deborah Koff-Chapin's Soul Cards.
Deborah's work can be seen at http://www.touchdrawing.com/]

Setting out,

all I need

is my kit bag

of memories,

and a high, ready heart

for the road ahead.

I've been traveling

for such a long time,

and yet

keep arriving

at the beginning.

I take my

walking stick,

for balance

and comfort,

and wide open eyes

for gazing at

the beauty

of this world.
