In the past week,
I've been thinking about
the
edges.
The boundaries
that I come up to and look over
and then retreat back away from.
Life is continuously filled with these edges.
Doorways.
Thresholds open for the crossing.
Thoughts and ideas and plans and dreams
that
I
come right up to
and then back away.
And wonder
will I ever cross over?
A couple thoughts occurred to me as I was making things
the other day
and
I started to type up some
"One day"
statements.
What if "one day" was today?
I do believe this will
become part of one large piece
I will make to remind myself
to decide
to believe
to trust
to press
to cross
to be all in
to risk
to really live.
Putting my work, my pictures, my words out there
has been one flying leap of faith
after another.
It still takes courage.
It still opens my eyes to new places to stretch my wings,
to new butterflies flying in my stomach,
to new horizons to journey toward
with no guarantees
but lots
of
possibilities.
Thank you. I could have written this. With each picture, I nodded my head and said, "YES!" Keep up the great work!
