Where to Now Jacob?

Moons, planets, suns, stars and what else is above us?

We live here, walking and running towards destinations. Some known, most unknown.

We dream and we wrestle while climbing this ladder towards success.

We spend so much time climbing, wrestling and changing our identity in order to make it to the next level.

Never looking around, up or down. We find ourselves trying to not look back at the destruction we escaped. (Don’t look back, don’t look back).

So many memories and loves left in the dust.

Watch the blonde lady, summer dress, no shoes and walking on the boardwalk. She stops and holds onto the railing staring into the ocean horizon.

“Looking back is no good; it just leaves a salty, bitter taste.”

A soft summer sun shower, a relief from the heat.

An acquaintance greets the lady, takes her hand, and stands beside her.

Summer worn blades of grass, all those stars up in the sky. We are so small in the scheme of things yet we find so much importance in the mundane.

Climbing that ladder, towards where? Heaven is full, the stars are way out of reach.

Wrestle the truth and gain so much falsehood.Old Man standing by his tent with four entrances. His old lady laughs and the impossible happens. We never know, we never know.
