Discussing CHASING DAYLIGHT SERIES message 6 of 9 “Advance - Go Unless You Get a No” by Erwin McManus.

initiative. “stay still.” It was said. keep on the
open plains smooth sands and mountains in the far off
distance. not a soul or sound to see. when doors
opened. free and clear as the road before me.
throught the silent seas, to thousands with hands wide
open and many more. “should I stay?” I kept saying.
No, I must leave this silver contraption. Go from
this place of inside security. Everything at my
reach. Images at my call and want. Eating and being
happy doing nothing for no one but for myself. Let me
climb down those long stairsand run in the open air.
To things endlessly complex but so simple and not
there. Where the ocean speaks and I am silenced. Let
us do something that causes events to happen. Far
into the future. Not a second or minute but a
thousand eternities ahead, far ahead to where I cannot
see a thing. Losing it all and yet gaining everything
from places I didn’t know existed. Giving it all to
you. From where everything came from. Don’t lay and
think. Those recollections have lost there
attraction. I have lived closed up far too long. a
vehicle traveling nowhere. it made me content. but
now i can see waste and emptiness. for you invited
me, presented me, believed in me. in my stupor i
missed it all. but an awakening. my old
pronouncements have broken. farther here than ever
before. i will travel and not stop. to do and not
hesitate. i am ready.
