Inspired by Reena’s Exploration Challenge #277 – Inspiring Quote
& Moonwashed Weekly Prompt #139 – Serene
“We all want to break our orbits, float like a satellite gone wild in space, run the risk of disintegration. We all want to take our lives in our own hands and hurl them out among the stars.”
― David Bottoms
at times serene
self-discovery can also be
an adventure
and one, mostly tumultuous
once the pieces have split apart
and been put back together
in necessary 0rder
life becomes more than survival
then
we are really alive

‘Tumultuous’ is a word that just begs to be used – and I love how it carries as much adventure as threat here. Lost track of you for a long time, Susi, but delighted to find your work again!
