Kavi Jezzie Hockaday - Un-moor your boat

 

You have moored your boat
On the safe part of the river
And, for a time, it has been fine

Now there is a longing to know
What lies further down stream
A thirst for adventure
And a deep desire for the ocean

But you have been moored for a long time
And there is fear of the unknown
What if there are rapids
Or even a huge waterfall
What if you should capsize and drown
What huge discomfort this brings up

Maybe it is better to stay moored up in the safety
Even though it no longer brings any juice to life
And the longing, the thirst, the desire, remains
And seems to grow every day

Oh what a conundrum, a puzzle, a mystery…

Friend, cast off the ropes and throw them upon the shore
You won’t be needing them again
Un-moor your boat like the warrior you are
Deep in your heart
Set sail, face the river, surrender and surf
Meet what comes as it comes
Be done with your fearful imagination
Live in this day, here, now
You have more capacity than you know
But you cannot discover it
Until you un-moor and set sail.
