14. Walking together into the FutureWalking together into the Future
‘May we have the courage to take the step
into the unknown that beckons us;
Trust that a richer life awaits us there,
That we will lose nothing but that which has
already died:
Feel the deeper knowing in us sure of all that
is about to be born beyond the pale frames
where we stayed confined, not realising how
such vacant endurance was bleaching our
soul’s desire’
