S is for Seek, Seas, beyond the Strand…

Day 19 of Blogging from A to Z.  Today’s letter is S

S is for Seek, Seas, Strand…

to seek out new seas

one must abandon the strand

lose sight of the shore

Many people opt to stay securely on that narrow strand. Perhaps they’ll

wonder what lies beyond across the sea.  Perhaps they’ll wonder what lies inland as well.  

Alas, fear holds them fast.  They might take a hesitant step seaward, but the ventured foot sinks deep as the eager current’s pull makes footing unsure.  They might step inland, but here too the shifting sands make footing once more unsure.

And so they remain on their small path wondering but never knowing what lies beyond.
