The lone boat floating away in the mist, I feel your spirit within me. I can sense the tug, the steering as if encircling within your arm, you are trying to take me …..but I still sail directionless.
…and the boatman…the vast expanse of waters do not scare him, not he waits for a traveler for the company, he travels with these waters and the sky above without a destination. The far off banks do not beckon him. He simply sails towards nowhere, where he belongs. He is one with the limitless. He never wishes a bank or a harbour to anchor. The world there does not exist for him. Beyond the limits he sails, oblivious of everything. A journey within, towards you, to nowhere…far…far away.
I can listen to the call ‘beyond’ but know not how to head to be with it. Will you take me there…

To be as the boatman… to be one with the limitless… isn’t that THE quest..?
He takes us with Him… but it is we who set the pace. He walks beside us, neither hurrying nor impatient… letting us reach home in our own time.
Can anything be more empowering than to know He respects us so?

Ya Dagny,He is always with us,irrespective of whether we are lost in the maze or walking towards/on the right path .We try to search the meaning sometimes in silence ,sometimes in all the cacophony around us.Is the search,the journey itself is the essence of being or there is really something beyond that limitless expanse.
I wonder…
Thanks for being with me here.The company in the journey is so precious.
