To paraphrase... .Do not worry where just step off and go - the rest is...

                         My reply :

     There was a time in my life when I would have - in chivalrous bravado - forged ahead as if to make sure it was safe , before I would seek to find someone to go with. But it took awhile to realize that it would then be my trip, my journey , not whoever I found to travel along with.
    So with patient heart and open mind I stand - poised and ready - waiting for the first steps of our journey to begin - once we find each other. Should that never happen, then to be prepared as I accept, that my journey began... back when I was born.
   I wait ; because I feel sometimes , like she's not too far away and if so -I hope she feels the same.
   I'll know... when that Journey ....becomes a dance.
