I run into myself while chasing the things I must do to
prepare for traveling across seas and miles and dreams
and schemes to gather the parts of me that have been
missing since I have been insisting there is this consisting
of existing missing parts.

Have you ever been there or not there or somewhere
between the Walmarts of life and the Galaxies of
opportunities? I am there now looking inside mirrors
that reflect the outside portions of the inside feelings
that need addressing. I guess your guessing what is
the mystery. Oh, it's this history of ancestry and necessity
to find my other half that completes me.
That beautiful half that has been lonely for me
as I have been for it. I can't quit.
This mission is more than just fishin' for identity.
It's he that complete me.

So as I prepare to go just know I am on the adventure
of my life. Strife? Well haven't we all had that...and this...
and the other. Without strife, this would be a wasted
unfulfilled life. It's in strife that we grow and learn and
know of all the good blessings that really do pass our
way-- on any given day. So I will not stay hidden away
scared to come out and play. I will play. I will sing.
I will bring all that I have to this opportunity
that has been given to me by God. Does that sound odd?
I hope not. I shall not rot unconnected to the Vine.
I will flourish and be nourished by the true life of Love.
And, in His love, I have found this love that is ours.

O ye'll tak' the high road and I'll tak' the low road,
An' I'll be in Scotland afore ye...
