"And I want uncharted"

The title of my blog is "Just Start my Kaleidoscope Heart" and this post follows from the same song.  Some of the lyrics are:

Now I have too much to hold, Everybody has to get their hands on gold
And I want uncharted

Stuck under the ceiling
I made, I can't help the feeling I'm going down
Follow if you want, I won't just hang around
Like you'll show me where to go

I'm already out of foolproof ideas so don't ask me how
To get started. It's all uncharted...

...Never knew so much I didn't know
Oh, everything is uncharted

A good friend once gave me a picture that hangs in my bedroom.  It's of a woman walking and she's holding a pair of shoes.  What's so special about this?  This is what I read when getting ready for the day, everyday:

Followed by a sign that reads: FOLLOW YOUR DREAMS.

Shel Silverstein wrote a poem called "The Voice" and it says this:
There is a voice inside of you
That whispers all day long,
“I feel that this is right for me,
I know that this is wrong.”
No teacher, preacher, parent, friend
Or wise man can decide
What’s right for you– – just listen to
The voice that speaks inside. 

The Will of God is exactly where I want to reside.  To remain there is to be in the best place - not the easiest, not the safest - but the BEST.  To live a life that may appear uncharted to others but that is perfectly and wonderfully charted by the Lord.  Ethiopia has changed my outlook on so many things and there's an opportunity to go again.  My heart screams take a pair of rain boots and head out to experience a few things, to possibly change a few things and to definitely be changed in the process.
