Joy requires a Leap … ( 07 / 23 / 2011 )
“ Truly living is a form of not being sure , not knowing what next or how . The moment we think we know , we do not . And in all the moments we are waiting for that surety , we begin to die … So we guess – and we go . We may be wrong , but we still take leap after leap into the dark .” ~ inspired by Agnes de Mille
“ You will do foolish things . Do them with enthusiasm .” ~ Colette
We cannot truly Walk in the Light unless we first leap into the black void of that which we fear … again & again & again & ever again we do so ; each time coming that much closer to holding hands with God .
It is only in having the courage to fly through the darkness — having Faith that our Love will guide us through — that we can rest in the embrace of the Divine that surrounds & enfolds us .
After all , what good is “ faith ” when it is certain ? What good is a Love given only in times comfortable ?
Indeed , the wings of “ the Holy Spirit ” are only unfurled in the times when we are lost and crying … when we feel completely torn asunder and hopelessly lost …
… and yet choose to leap forth to Care anyway .
