The Enlightenment of Autumn

We are the true explorers. The ones who are not afraid to leave, the ones who are not afraid to come back. We love fearlessly, not counting the times our hearts shatter. We wake up every morning, our blood turned to sheer energy. Our thoughts run wild, and we let them. We fall into the sky and jump into lakes and oceans. Our hearts record everyone's laugh, and everyone's smile. We understand that life ends, but we live as though it doesn't. We smile at dumb things and our addiction is laughter. We are not afraid to change, nor afraid to be changed. We are the true explorers.

Blessed is the man whose strength is in You, whose heart is set on pilgrimage...they go from strength to strength; Each one appears before God in Zion. - Psalm 84:5,7
