…facing one’s fear…

 
The Leap

she need not be frightened
she knows the moves
sees the steps
clearly in her mind
she knows the stride
the position of her body
just before elevation
she understands the speed
the run up
the lead foot
the plant angle
the knee bend
the thrust
she has done this
literally [...]

The Flame

 

 
The Flame

the pitch black
of ignorance
succumbs
to a single
flame of knowledge

Make it happen…

 
Hope

with hope
we have direction
the energy to move
a map to follow
a hundred alternatives
a thousand paths
an infinity of dreams
with hope
we are half way there
without hope
we are lost forever
