Taking the Leap … ( 08 / 23 / 2014 )

To worry is to pray in the wrong direction … There ' s no easy way to get off the “ ride ” of Life , so we best set aside our indecision & our cowardice & our jitters while we ' re on it . Let ’ s take a seat on the front row , throw our arms up in the air , and enjoy every last second of it instead ; screaming in jubilation during times of pleasure & plenty ... and smiling in defiance during our moments of frustration & fear .
" All fear has an element of resistance and a leaning away from the moment . Its dynamic is not unlike that of strong desire , except that fear leans backward into the past ' s last instant of safety , while desire leans forward toward the future ' s next hope ... Each lacks the presence necessary to revel in the only moment we truly have : this one ." ~ inspired by Stephen Levine
