Don’t call my name.
Please don’t call my name.
Not yet. Not so soon.
It isn’t time yet, is it?
*
I need to stay away.
From you. Your irresistable voice.
Your charisma. Your magnetic aura.
Your call of the wild.
Your pull to the wild.
**
I’ve been down your road.
Too many times to count.
Too many tears to wipe.
Too many stories to rewind and release.
I know…I know.
Too many to uncurl yet.
***
Let me be.
Just for now.
Let my heart rest.
Let my body recuperate.
Let me do some BEING, please.
****
I promise you.
I promise to follow your trails.
To newer vistas. To higher summits.
To lands without borders. To hearts without fear.
To love that stays. To prayer that pays.
To a newer me. To a newer you.
I promise you.
*****
Behind the scenes:
The first thing I noticed in the picture was the sign board that reads FOLLOW THAT DREAM. An urge to chase after the next dream lying in wait. A call. An irresistible call. And it’s not so quiet anymore.
The next thing that caught my eye was the white cycle with the basket. Definitely not something I would use to chase after dreams! It screams of lazy lunches and lazier siestas in idyllic Spanish villages. Somewhere I wouldn’t mind hiding from the next dream that can’t seem to hold it’s excitement in it’s pants anymore. .
See the KAYA spa on the other side? Obviously. A perfect getaway from all the dream chasing escapades of my life. I need that REST! Just enough for the next dream lying in wait to play catch up.
Did you notice the name board on what looks like a local pizzeria? It could be a rest house or even perhaps a cultural centre? Lolita. Lolita. It’s actually calling me! Literally just ME! Need I say more?
It’s obviously a small dream finding it’s place under the sun between bigger dreams. A stop gap. To recharge and renew. Mend my broken heart and build a stronger body to meet the new vistas, summits, lovers (plural?? Yeah. Right. Who am I fooling? ) and prayers waiting on the other side of all this rewiring, resting and rebuilding.
This is me trying to convince a new dream to hold on to it’s horses while I recuperate from my previous adventures. To rejuvenate before I dive headlong into a new one without a care in the world.
A promise that I will pay heed to the call of the wild and chase it’s horizons again… soon.
Until then… it’s all about rest and renewal before I begin again. For once choosing BEING over DOING.
Thank you Sadje for this lovely photo prompt. It’s dreamy. So so dreamy! I know this was meant just for me! I appreciate it with all my heart.
