Seems to me that life is cyclical. Sometimes we build. We put our head downs, get the plow out, and plant seeds in the soil. We silently move through the motions of our work. We hear wind, our thoughts absent. We nod at each other as we pass. We act like mammals; we gather and store and dig foundations. We work.
Still other times in life, we enjoy the fruits of our labor. We reap what we sow. We eat and drink with joy. We let go; our whole being smiles. We relax back into our chairs and think it doesn't get any better than this. Our goals our hopes our dreams accomplished. We feel complete. We feel happy.
And then after a period of abundance and ease, we wish again. We aim our sights at yet another peak in the distance. We pack up our knapsacks. We prepare for our journey. We see for ourselves yet another self. Higher than ever. Better. We say good-bye to our comfortable spot on the sand.
We put our heads down. We block the wind with our arm. We walk forward. We push. Trek through the valley, to reach the next mountaintop. The cycle continues.
Right now I feel like Dave and I are together in the valley pushing forward. We're holding hands and we're silent. Our eyes are fixed on our next resting plateau, awed by the heights we've set for them.
