I'm About to Make a Gigantic Leap


Gah! I'm shitting-my-pants scared. That's good, I think. It demonstrates that I have given this some serious, serious thought. This time, it's not some hypomanic pie-in-the-sky fantastical scheme. It's the painfully obvious truth. Painfully. Yes, I mourn endings, even and especially this ending. I mustn't give into despair. Still, for a time I feel as though I must despair, as a way to pay homage to the painful price someone dear has to pay for my honesty.  I think of guilt as a punishment I receive for hurting others. How long a sentence do I serve? When does hope stop feeing forbidden?


Edit ~ 3.02.10: this week's Wishcasting asks us, what story do you wish to live or let go of?

This post ~ written Monday ~ seems a fitting answer to these questions which Jamie poses this week. I wish to live the story of authenticity, of love, of truth. Also, discipline, which I need, in order to commit to myself, to my creative spirit, to my relationships. I wish to let go of the stories of guilt and mourning. I wish to let go of the story of fear. Also anger. In it's place I wish to embrace acceptance, understanding and tolerance. I wish to live peace, patience, and courage ~ I will need these to weather the enormous changes on my horizon.

This pain/fear might be courage that has spoken its prayer.

Your (1) Commandment for 2010 "Let Go" is a good one and the key to it all. Amazing things happen when you can finally let go. It is difficult but I encourage you and know that you will find the strength to do this as I have myself learned this after a hard life of struggles and living with massive guilt. Stay strong!

Yes, shit-scared can sometimes be good. Unfortunately. Lots of good wishes from me also.
