That which will fly away from me, or that which ties me to the ground? Do I want to stay grounded and in control, or do I want to take a chance on flying - and maybe falling? As for me, I'm letting go of the post holding me down. If I fall, I fall. The question is: “Which do I let go of?”

That which will fly away from me, or that which ties me to the ground? Do I want to stay grounded and in control, or do I want to take a chance on flying – and maybe falling?

As for me, I’m letting go of the post holding me down. If I fall, I fall.

Our bodies insist on living. The sign you've grown up is when you stop saying (and thinking) "Oh, if _this_ happens, I'll just die." No, you won't, you'll live. And you'll have to face it. I know. Our bodies insist on living.

No, you won’t, you’ll live.

And you’ll have to face it.

Just when you’re drowning, the tide goes down…
You’re back on your
Rock Island…’

Maybe that's what I'm really afraid of. I had a dream recently where I was a woman, and what really excited me was the prospect of changing my name and starting my identity completely over. But then, I suppose I never want to let go of the few close friends and family that I have... everything else is just shadow and light.

Don't leave me, even though you want to leave and marry the wind. Please don't, even though you already have. Q: What I would LET GO? A: The fear of passion for life. Life would be so much easier if I knew why I was doing it. But no, we have to hang on to all the meaning, because if we lose it why else would---no. I will let go of this too. Yes, I will fire my self-diagnosing psychologist. For some reason I don’t want to lose what wants to floats upwards and away, drawn, buffered, beaten and uplifted by the wind.
