Knowing

It’s like a journey I was always meant to take, but have not yet started.  And that moment when it begins, I will know.  Like walking along a beach at dawn on a brisk and focused morning.  Looking to the glowing horizon, and knowing what is to occur.  I can see it.  I can feel it.  I can smell the anticipation in the air.  And I could stand here and do nothing, absolutely nothing, and still it would come.  Still it would come.  But it is at this point that I am ready.  I am still.  I am like the fate of a man poised at the edge of the ocean staring into the impending waves.  Frozen with anticipation and ready to be overtaken.  Ready to be devoured.  But I am not afraid.  For I know that this journey into the unknown will carry me away.  It will awaken my senses and elevate me to a higher place.  Yes, this is it.  It is the beginning.  It is now.  It is the future.  This is knowing.
