She spreads untested wings
into the wind. Will the currents
be friendly, vaulting her to heights
unknown? Or will they go out from
under, smashing her to the ground?
She will never know unless she tries -
This makes me think of a favorite Rumi quote:
"Load the ship and set out. No one knows for certain whether the vessel will sink or reach the harbor. Cautious people say, "I'll do nothing until I can be sure". Merchants know better. If you do nothing, you lose. Don't be one of those merchants who won't risk the ocean."
What about virtual flight is that ligid, jus teasin again, nice birds, what kind? Actually they look a bit fat, are you feeding them? they might not even get off the ground with all that weight.
Why test new currents of untested waters, when it's this good at home? You gots forty year old teenagers still at home? anyway just curious Karla. Hugs and blessings my friend! Jasmin Horst

She's be flying high if she were here tonight, the wind is picking up . . .
Karla,
Some of the best moments in our lives come because we chose to take a risk. Life is filled with risk and without risk, there would be no rewards. You said it best, "She will never know unless she tries."
A short, yet powerful inspirational poem.
