Even If I Take the Wings of Dawn
If I take the wings of dawn and settle at the far side of the sea, even there something leads me and holds me fast.
If something never lets me go however far I flee, what would it be?
📝Reflection
The image of this verse is dazzlingly beautiful — on the wings of dawn to the far side of the sea. The poet sings of something you cannot escape, however far you flee. This is not surveillance but companionship. Sometimes we want to run from everything, even from ourselves. But wherever I go, I carry myself along. The sense that even at the end of my flight something still holds me makes the fleeing stop. I long tried to run from my troubles, from myself. But only after fleeing to the very end did I learn: it was not something to escape, but something to carry and walk with.
🌱Apply It Today
When you want to run from something today, ask: "what if I carry it and take one step, instead of fleeing?"
This verse is read as universal humanistic wisdom, not religion — no faith is promoted, and the reflection is 100% original ONGO content.
