Flying

This took me months to finally finish!!!!!

                   Sometimes being brave is the only choice we have;

                             courage has nothing to do with it.

              Sometimes hanging on is really the fear of letting

                             go.

              To see what else could be.....

                       It's the fear of our plans changing

                                     living a new life

                   or standing alone.

                   Just the same, sometimes moving on is the fear of getting

                caught.

                            Are you a gypsy, free to roam the world. or are you lost to yourself?

           A prisoner to the ever-changing

                               afraid to just be.

                    Sometimes flight is only an illusion for the fear of

                           falling.........

                              Scared to accept defeat.

                            After all, it takes more courage to stand up after

                                 you fall.  

                           Or, are you scared that in falling, you'll meet your true

                            self?

        Would you be you who think you are?

                              Or would we see the holes in your facade

                          the cracks in your mirror?

                         Are you really flying...........

          or are you just scared to fall?

Woody called it, "falling....with style." Maybe it is.

“Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness that most frightens us. We ask ourselves, 'Who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, fabulous?' Actually, who are you not to be? You are a child of God. Your playing small does not serve the world. There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won't feel insecure around you. We are all meant to shine, as children do. We were born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us. It's not just in some of us; it's in everyone. And as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others.”
― Marianne Williamson, A Return to Love: Reflections on the Principles of "A Course in Miracles"
