Seeking Light
What am I seeking on my lighthouse journeys? I believe it is contentment more than fun, and depth of meaning more than beautiful fascination.
I want lighthouses to speak to me, to stir me. I want lighthouses to show me things that I have never seen before, and may not again.
I want to experience one-of-a-kind moments in all their subtleties – fleeting instances breathtaking and full of mystery. Gifts of a lifetime!
I want their deep-rooted sense of place to permeate my mind and heart – to inspire me to linger, to wonder, to discern that which is unspoken and concealed.
I want to absorb history, so palpable and steeped in intrigue. I want to converse with a friend about stories of valor and tragedy, of duty and isolation, of ordinary people who did the extraordinary.
I want my spirit to be embraced by the whispering winds, and to walk with flowing tides that wait not for you, me and all that used to be.
I want to find new essence and learn of where nuance hides. I want to indulge in the offerings of solitude, come face to face with isolation and touch the hand of melancholy.
Most of all, I want realness – the way life was and is, and the opportunity to better understand the intimations that cling tightly to lighthouses. In seeking light, heart’s fulfillment is found.
