A walk in uncertainty

A long, slow climb out of the city 

A stiff breeze blows away the cobwebs

 

What should we leave behind?

We choose to walk along the borders

Development is a decision

 

What direction will we take?

We step into the natural world

Improvement requires change

 

What are we open to?

Here we feel ourselves relaxing, 

with every breath we open

and release

 

Who will we choose to be?

We walk and the world turns with us

Every step leaves a footprint

 

What impact will we have?

We are drawn to a sacred space

Enduring monuments to a changing sky

 

What questions do we have?

Take time to think and wonder

There are no certainties in development

 

What shall we explore?

“History is a pattern of timeless moments” 
(T S Elliot)

 

What are our moments?

How will they guide us?

Change is all around us

Beauty is in imperfection

 

How can we encourage people to be  ‘in development’?

Up above the rooftops

The skylarks sing

Our hope is our humility

 

Where can we be ourselves? 

We look back on our journey

as the clouds gather over the land

 

What can we carry forward?

When the rainclouds gather in

It helps to be prepared

 

What resources can we draw on?

We drop back into the city

in the rain

 

What is our next step?

How can walking ‘in development’ help us live in a fractured world?
