On The Edge of Everything…

“This is going to take a long time, and I wonder what’s mine. Can’t take no more. Wonder if you’ll understand, it’s just the touch of your hand, behind a closed door.”

Once upon a time it was easy, once upon a time it was only existing.

You’re running along, not paying attention to anything around you, stumbling but not caring, what else is there? You’d find out once you look up from the road.. once you realize what you’ve been, what you are and the eye opening revelation of something more than what you are.

Suddenly there’s a precipice. And you face your fears, your truths, your dreams in an instant.

Teetering on the edge you look down; fog, thick and dark swirls just below the edge, giving no indication of how far the bottom is, if there is anything to break your fall. It’s frightening, the darkness, the unknown.. tendrils of fog reach up like tentacles, beckoning. And yet.. it feels comforting, welcoming.. a belonging. Your eyes widen in disbelief, awe at the beauty that’s hidden just below the surface and you lean forward without thought

A flash of light, brighter than the sun, an explosion of color and sound that you feel more than see.. and then it’s gone, leaving an image burned into your mind.

You close your eyes, feeling the electricity in the air, a stiff wind comes up from behind, pushing against your back, whipping your hair across your face as it whispers: A chance. A choice… Everything you are, everything you want, just take it.

Do you take a leap of faith that could destroy you, for the chance to be a part of something more amazing, more beautiful than you are... or do you turn around?

I think you take the leap and see what happens when you hit the ground.
