A different you

Successful outcomes often follow unpredicted actions. If we allow ourselves to do things that might not work, we’re far more likely to discover the things that do. And then we can repeat them.*
Seth Godin

Now God said to Abram and Sarai, ‘Go from your country and your kindred and your father’s house to the land that I will show you.’**

I don’t know this way, this
may not work, I prefer to
stick rather than twist, though didn’t
Abram became Abraham, and
Sarai became Sarah as a result of
their journey into the
unknown, beyond the familiar?:
An idea, experience, challenge, person –
A different me waiting, a
different you.

Old men ought to be explorers
Here or there does not matter
We must be still and still moving
Into another intensity
For a further union, a deeper communion
Through the dark cold and the empty desolation,
The wave cry, the wind cry, the vast waters
Of the petrel and the porpoise. In my end is my beginning.^
