haiku
when did we know
a glance
and everything was out in the open
then
when did we know
I wanted to laugh
it was so obvious that I said no.
I made an excuse.
I said I had no time for it.
but my heart raced beyond my abilities to stand firm.
it wasn't because I saw the end
it was because I saw so much
promise
promises that I never saw in that way before
and it could not be happening
things like that, can they really happen?
....
I understand now that because nothing is promised, anything is possible if we dare to make it so. I am at that place, and I am elated and terrified to be here. But I rather be here than not be here, because it is not often that such possibilities come up that can lead you to better than you could have imagined. In fact, I said this actually to him...the reality is greater than the imagination in this encounter.
When I think of the things I have experienced, I am less terrified. My mind is built for creativity. Everything I can bring toward me is dependent on my capacity to accept it.
The things that I desire are real, are done, are there to be done and surpassed.
...
Imagine not venturing because of fear of failure. Now that is failure itself.
