Water

There, before you, lays no simple task. It is of the unkown and untraveled. With each step you feel the ground beneath you giving way but you continue onward hoping that the force that has brought you to this place, to attempt this fascinating venture will hold you until the end. For what seems like a lifetime you are waiting for the waves to settle so this adventure and test may begin. With no notice you see the water is calm, entrancing. It feels almost as though it is solid, the force that is holding you is so strong, you seem to be gliding across as if on ice skates. Within seconds however, you now have become so confident in your abilities that you notice the force has began to realse and you are now trying to walk on your own. The tide begins to recede and you see that you are standing on solid ground again, no further away from shore as before but no closer to what is seemingly the impossible. As you force yourself to attempt this again you know with every fiber of your being that you will continue to try and walk atop the waves until there is no fight left inside your soul. With each step you wonder, am I getting farther away from the shore or closer to the unknown and untraveled?
