Lifeline

I get scared by my thoughts
do you?
I've been doing that thing
I sometimes do
looking in the mirror
staring into my eyes
wondering
how to be braver
to just step off

Been thinking of jumping
know what I mean?
I keep finding myself clenched
and this tightness is tiring
which adds to it
this sense of why not
which scares me
into writing it down here
my lifeline

    Oh, yeah, do I ever know that feeling. I love the defintion of Synchronicity I read many years ago:

    "LEAP! And the net will appear!"

    Go for it, Jos!! xoxo Blessings!

    There is "why not", but also powerful "why". The tightness and clench are examinations? Necessary? I star into my eyes lately and hardly recognize them. Were they always thus? Have I never looked before...really looked? Examine. Yes, for me, clench.

    I am an olympiad at prevaricating. I think too much and do too little. Fear frames my thinking on every side. I am too scared to jump ... and scared of not jumping too.

    Annie, when we stare into our own eyes we MUST remember to be kind! Don't you think? xx

    i say, you are already jumping.
    are you enjoying the weightlessness, the bravery of looking in your own eyes?
