I sit there, at the end of what has been. The void seems so large, the task ahead so big even from a far .
I will not look back, I have to look ahead and cross this void. I have to climb this mountain.
I know what’s behind me, I’ve just come from there. Only by going forward can I hope to find what I’m looking for.
Whatever that might be…

Great post, Simon. I recently walked away, myself. It’s quite a step. Here’s to you. Good luck.

Long time no comment my friend…apologies for the absentia….however…this is most deep and thought inspiring. I have sat many times recently pondering the void and staring into an abyss. However, I agree heartily with the going forwards message in this post.
Thanks for sharing it my friend

I was hopeful of more instructive guidance there…sitting watching my own void and the spinning world thereof… I need a revenue frame lol

Your world spins in it’s own way and at it’s own speed, for some it is too fast, for others too slow – but for you is is your planet.
What’s a revenue frame?

Aye that it does…of late the spin has been backwards. Things are reset and it’s now speeding up in the right direction again ๐ A revenue frame is autoincorrect pursuading reference frame not to, in fact, be a reference frame….although if it referred to a mighty lottery win then revenue frame it can be if it wants ๐
