This Homesick Yearning

It just makes sense to me, you know?
She wouldn’t be leading me

of thought and direction – a turning
a fresh start and a new adventure.

I’m about to go exploring again, ain’t I?

“Willingness to become as a little child and to leave the old for the new, renders thought receptive of the advanced idea. Gladness to leave the false landmarks and joy to see them disappear, – this disposition helps to precipitate the ultimate harmony.”
Mary Baker Eddy, Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures

“Behold, I make all things new.”
– Revelation 21:5
