An interwoven, paradoxal pair of emotions that travel together, testing the fortitude of all that they infiltrate. Emotions capable of bringing forth the deepest rooted constitutions in all of us.
They patiently await our protests as they build their architectural colliseums of doubt...a personal prison of our own design. Daring our bravery, they offer up the opportunity to hone our intuition, our metal, our listening ears, our willingness to risk...
They offer the chance to examine and deconstruct the questions that tangle our steps.
A chance to forget what we were afraid of to begin with...
They spin a cobwebbed maze so tightly, that the desire of the heart is our only path to truth.
The dance with these two can either be a beautiful story of triumph, freedom, and celebration....or, it can simply become one of paralyzing regret that runs like a ticker tape behind closed eyelids...
displaying your choices and consequences on an endless reel of tears.
For some the chasm to cross seems deeper and wider than they can handle and they teeter unmoving on the edge, until finally all that awaited them on the other side has withered under the weight of heartbreak.
Others build a bridge made of hope and faith, and follow a compass whose true north bleeds red with passion...and offer their heart to those whom cannot see.
May we all be blessed with the courage to leap, the strength to carry those whom cannot, and the wisdom to know when to walk away.
