I received this quote from a friend of mine the other day and it just seems right for what has been happening in my mind so with a big thank you to her, I will repost it here and when I find out who the author is, I will note that as well.
"Faith"
When you have come to the edge of all the light you know, And are about to step off into the darkness of the unknown;
Faith is knowing one of two things will happen:
There will be something solid to stand on, Or you will be given wings to fly....
I believe that is what I am going through these days. As always, I am on a personal journey and something is about to change. This is a familiar pattern to me - to go through issues that are of concern and as I learn and grow from each of them - the fears that had been holding me back are released and I move forward into something else. This usually speeds up the closer I get to whatever "change" is coming next.
This time, I'm not quite sure what that change/something else is - but I do know that I am standing on the precipise and am ready for whatever comes next. Excited actually because I do have faith. Everything that has led me to this point in my life has been for a reason and it has all worked out beautifully - so why would this next step be any different? Isn't this the entire "fun" of our lives - to keep growing, shedding our skins and evolve to the next level?
If the two options are being given something solid to stand on or be given the wings to fly - really, how could anything be wrong? Either way its good and I'm ready to fly...
