Where will today take you?
Will you follow obligations,
or blindly step into the day?
Will you move with purpose
or simply walk away?
What’s holding you back?
What is ahead?
What do you fear?
It takes a bit of strength to
open a new door. It takes a lot
of courage to walk through it.
The unknown is, in fact, an
entrance to so many adventures.
Will you continue walking?

This first week of summer has been watermarked by almost never-ending rain. Yesterday the precipitation stopped, for a while, but this morning it is back again. The view out my window is disappointing at best.
In between the downpour and drizzle, I’ve been trying to complete a task. Watching the sky, as much as the forecast, I’ve been planning my time around the predictably unpredictable.
Progress on the necessary home repair been waning, as much my interest. The interior portion of the work has been completed for days. The project is now endlessly stuck between almost done and not completed.
Realistically, there is not a lot still to be done, but it must, And I can’t.
Yesterday’s thought of maybe today have been dampened by a night of severe weather, and the weather app shows there is a lot more ahead of me. Damn.
Already a week into summer and my to-do list has been placed on hold. If it weren’t for the rain, this particular task would be complete, I could move onto the next planned project.
Until it gets dry, I can’t even try.

Day into day we discover reasons, predicaments, and solutions to even the most hypothetical theory or condition.
Through it all, the mystery of this life, your life (and others) becomes more apparent, as if the purpose finally reveals itself after years, or decades, of wonder.
The change becomes more obvious than the challenge.
Always, however, fresh new possibilities and problems continue to present themselves.
We seem to always know we are dealing with the unknown.
