Justifying lack of structure

Okay, so I'm trying to come to terms with this lack of structure.

Lately, I am a bundle of incomplete thoughts.

And I've considered building a new foundation.

 

But it seems the sands beneath my feet are shifting constantly.

I step forward, and sink in for a moment.

And then, the wind blows strong.

Shifting away the top sands..

 

Releasing me...

 

Once again, I step forward, and each time it makes me think.

This is not the time to build a foundation.

At least not outside myself.

And I'm not ready to stop moving forward.

 

I am the river that travels, always moving

cutting through the landscapes

trying to reach my ocean

in every way I travel

and I continue to swim

and swim, and swim...

 

So how can it be that I'm even contemplating building a structure at all?

If I do, my river will work to erode it until it can finally crash through and flow free.

Such is me... Free... and happy to be.

Oh, Bishu... stop battering yourself. I love your comments. You make me smile. Even when you speak without the heavy accent. ;) which is always a challenge for me to understand. And I do love challenging. Be hopeful! It's a great way to beeez.. <3
