Distance reflects more than a spatial relationship. As she opens a complicated world of mystery and clarity.
Distance may provide a needed break, when desired. An opportunity for the breath to be caught. The heart to level pace. And the emotion to consult the mind and the soul. In this way, distance has the potential for healing and restoration. To stop ongoing madness. And pause a dangerous countdown.
To be sure, distance is not always preferred. Circumstances and unexpected surprise may bring about her arrival. She may not intend to emerge, yet does nonetheless. Distance may happen over the passing of time. Or appear suddenly. From out of nowhere. What follows is a yanking of the heartstrings. A numbing of optimism. Perhaps even a death of sorts.
Distance tickles the ears. Even when the eyes are beyond focus. With a loud boom, distance tells a story. A tale that may be laced with awe. Or a gesture that is unmistakable. Distance may conjure hope beyond belief. Awaken a spirit of ambition and determination. At times, distance says no before yes is even considered. But on particular mornings, she whispers maybe.
Time and again, distance becomes the scapegoat. The motivation for stagnancy above first steps. A reason to sever relationship without sincere examination. The justification to embrace skepticism over belief.
Though not always, a bond with distance is often in the hands of her beholder. Who has the ability to navigate mystery with expectant desire. And make meaning of what she beckons. Amen.
