the ultimate brook

For the last month I have been jumping the brooks of everyday life, completing the deadlines and 'to do' lists that seem to make up my existence. However, for every small step my eyes have been drifting to the distance, to rest on a river whose far banks are unknown to me. There will come a time soon when I will jump that brook. I will jump not knowing entirely what lies on the far side. I only hope that I am prepared for that unknown. I only hope that I land on my feet.
