Envisioning

By: Duke Rohe  drohe@att.net

Envisioning places fire in the heart of its owners.  It sees what needs to be and begins to set its world in place to get there.  It clears the path toward its achievement.  It doesn’t allow the way it is to get in the way.  It grows what it knows until it gets what is best.  It sees beyond the present and gains strength from the future.  Envisioning is born in the heart before it is seen in the mind.  It sparks the heart of those around.  Its resolve proclaims, “It’s not a matter of if, but a matter of when we will arrive”.  Its resolve is relentless.

Envisioning is the north star toward its completion.  No matter the storms, the interruptions, the crush of the urgent, it steadies its course.  Envisioning doesn’t stop the waves, it just resets its direction, then outlasts them.  Envisioning creates a hope for greater things.  And hope cannot be failed; only quit.  Envisioning loses sight when we allow the pressure of today to steal the heart of tomorrow. Envisioning chooses to change before being made to change.  It elects to transform before it is coerced to conform.

Envisioning is not just sight, but frequency, confidence and constancy.  It calls out for clearer direction as it grows.  It aligns actions, no matter how distant, how small, toward its final destiny.  It cries “keep moving forward” during the hardest of climbs.  It ootches through the rough spot and travels quickly over the easy one.  Envisioning never lets up, for time is its enemy.  Envisioning builds character that could never just evolve.  It pushes past the unbelievable by focusing on the right the achievables.  It believes before it sees.

Its summit is the beginning of its next climb.  For life is not sustained on the top of mountains, bit on the sides.  Its end is to not rest, but to see more.
