Go as far as you can...

...and then go a little further.
Even when you knees are knocking;
When your feet stain the earth-
Carry on.
It's not just about you anymore
It's the reason you're still moving
Even when the thought of another day is like
Acid in your veins.

It's that fleeting strike of lighting in your path.
That flash of something that just made you feel...
So alive.
In that moment of
Fear and wonder
You were more awake than you'd ever been in your life.
And you knew in that moment that you'd search everywhere
For that brief instant where
Beauty
Mingled with
Uncertainty. Reverence. Awe.

Never stop.
Keep that brilliant light within your reach.
Just within your grasp.
It's in every storm you'll chase.
It's waiting in the clouds of your daydreams,
Breathing in the stagnant thunderheads of the
Ending summer sky.
