“Go from your land, from your birthplace and from your father’s house to the land which I will show you.”
– Genesis 12:1.
A brief meditation on answering the call.
The Journey
There will come
A moment when
You must leave
What you know
On the journey
To find who
You can be.
You can be
One who finds
On the journey
What you know
If you leave
The moment when
Your time comes.
