There's a lot to unpack in that line, and in that entire poem by Dylan Thomas. This last week, it spoke to me. Saying it's been a challenging week would be an understatement. Covid outbreaks, stomach flu outbreaks, teenagers...I could go on! Even with those challenges in the way, I felt that burning need to keep going, to keep moving forward. To me, these are the times that remind me why I'm doing what I'm doing. If I can't overcome obstacles in my way and continue living out my purpose, then how will I ever be able to show anyone else how to do it? When these times come up, when life starts to throw curveballs at me and give me a hard time, I get excited. It means I'm on the right path!
