Revolving doors

Ha! I crack myself up. Maybe you don't get my reason for posting this...perhaps you do ;). Whichever the case...I see it as a premonition. Ha!

Anyway, I am feeling much better. I have come back from The Land of the Lost (I loved that show) and my Sleestak demeanor. Well, maybe not that bad. Perhaps just the hybernation part of it. In any case, I did write this really long post yesterday, only to have my computer decide to pass some gas and thus expel my writing. Nice huh? I just love it when that happens.

I had written about some quotes I had read and how they really seemed to hit home... One such quote...

You can discover what your enemy fears most by observing the means he uses to frighten you.
-Eric Hoffer

How true. And so much insight from just this one statement. People don't always do unto to you, as they would like done unto themselves. In fact, quite the opposite. A, "Get them before they get me" mentality. But how sad is that, really?

I am finding myself in a similar, or almost exact, situation that I was in last year. Betwixt two extremes. Frozen with fear and not sure which way to run, if I should run at all. I feel like I am repeating the same lesson and if I choose the same answer I may just find myself here again next year. Or it may be, that this is my last chance to get it right. They say, to not risk, is to not truly live...

“Come to the edge.”
“We can't. We're afraid.”
“Come to the edge.”
“We can't. We will fall!”
“Come to the edge.”
And they came.
And he pushed them.
And they flew.

-Guillaume Apollinaire
