Thoughtful Thursday

Courtesy of that prolific and elusive writer, Anonymous:

When you have come to the edge
of all the light you know
and are about to step out
into the darkness of the unknown
Faith is knowing that one of two things will happen
There will be something solid to stand on. . . or
You will be taught to fly.

May we all stick that tentative toe over the line, take that baby step, make that gigantic leap...

...and soar.

Make That Leap

Years ago, when ideas swirled like a raging eddy current in my brain, and I was enamored with the notion of being a writer but not actually putting pen to paper (finger to keyboard?), my friend Anna gave me this postcard:

"Leaping the Chasm at Stand Rock, Wisconsin Dells 1887"
by Henry Hamilton Bennett
(photo credit here)

Having it on the cork board above my desk, it inspires me in so many other ways than just getting down to the task of writing. May you be blessed, Anna.

Today, be fearless.

Defy logic.

Make that metaphysical leap.

PS: I know that some of you either visit the Dells or live near there. Please note that The Baroness is in no way encouraging you to physically attempt this (my lawyer told me to include this addendum).

But if you do, and make it - let me know...
