Do you know?


















What are you waiting for?
Where are you going to?
Who are you longing to be?
How many years will you stand
at the shore's edge, looking
for something or someone to
come to you?

  5. The last question pretty much says it all so well. One can spend too long contemplating such questions and waiting for life to come to them instead of diving in headfirst. To contemplate is good, to participate, even better!! Great take on the prompt!
