Open

[William Garza]

What an adventure
Fly to a foreign land
Step the train into strange surroundings
Don't know the language
Can't understand the same

You cast off into the new world
Fearless and open..at last to the world

So off you go onto the arena..not arena..ahh Rey nana..not ahh re nana
Sand...
This is your new world
Your footprints onto virgin soil for some
That is the first time you will be ready for..."come what may"

This is your dance
This is the breath before the first note
You
The mote in the firmament on highs silent
But not alone
Never...
Alone

There will never be this...
This ..
first of times
This isn't an echo of some dream
Wake upon the morn..only to morn the passing into that place where dreams remain
To die in silence
The silence defens
Nameless dreams..ever seamed
Imperfect to the touch

The silence grows as the distant echoes of other dreams
Fade.

Time
Has lashed out it seems and the words become sorrow
Become the tears of Hiareth
The Fado of your between of times.

You are here
At last
The first of some old photographs
Smiling like a baby now..
Smiling won't always be as simple as it seems
But your here
At last
Dream made flesh

Open up and make ready for this first dance
Open up your soul
It's time to drink from this well of time
Open up your mind and Empty it to the road
Open up and loose the fear
Of the unknown
Let cold wind come
Blow fog and leaf from your path

Take the hand of the wind and dance o pilgrim dear
It's a wonderful loss
And a priceless gain.

My prayer Peregrino, is to lose
And find
Yourself on the road

Leave your footprints in this virgin land

William your words dance across the page and around the world to brighten the souls of your readers...

Thank you

My prayer Peregrino, is to lose
And find
Yourself on the road

and also for your heartfelt prayer - you've described my Camino perfectly

I had to laugh a little..
Didnt have my readers on and after working all nite and a dense fog to drive in....
I cant see what i wrote..
Nana?
Ah reh na..sand
Ah ree na... Well arena
Ha!
Wake upon the morn, only to mourn the passing..
Much better no?

I hope all the pilgrims "out there"
Become unafraid of whats in "here"

Somewhere between the head, heart, and spirit
We, well some...learned to, if not fear the unknown
To create the darkness of the unknown in their life
But to let go of this pernicious dark
To be ready to take to the road
Open
Open heart
Open mind
Open spirit

Is letting go
Trusting in the way
Absolute faith of a kind....

Letting go to gain
An..
Odd concept
As i have said
My Caminos have been different
And yet the same.

I pray that Peregrino
Right now looking at St. Jeans gate
Closes their eyes
Draws breath
And steps ever forward boldly

And find the Camino Provides
And takes away
A curious dichotomy no?
Missing what you gained
Relish the thought..what was lost...
I pray that Pilgrim
And this one
And those over there

Decide for courage
Be Blessed this day Peregrino
