'It's called a "leap of faith" . . . because there is strength in daring to take the leap . . . and the faith happens . . . just before you realize . . . that you have begun to fly.'
- Hallmark/Mahogany E-card.
My Mom sent me this quote in an Alvin Ailey e-card, yesterday evening, and I only just checked my mail at nearly 5 am today. Interestingly, I was browsing a old local paper early tonight and found an advertisement for Alvin Ailey coming to my town in April '09. I don't believe in coincidences. Troubled by sleeplessness, I just happened to turn on the computer. This quote RESONATES with me. I am creating my way in the world, daily.
I feel, in some intuitive way, that I am standing on the edge of my life's true greatness. I don't know how close, in time, I am to that moment, but it's there, poised in the unseen, waiting to enter the full frame of my life and change it forever. My LEAP is coming. I ask the Universe to 'conspire for my benefit' and bring that moment into the NOW. I INTEND to be fully concious and recognize it EXACTLY so that I may ACT.
I have another quote that relates to this one which includes a reference to my personal talisman. This one is on the front of a journal I bought for myself, recently.
Just when the caterpillar thought the world was over, it became a butterfly.
- Proverb (from Quotable cards journal)
Butterflies start out as 'ugly, wiggly, earthbound things', but the POWER OF TRANSFORMATION
allows them to soar. I love you, Mommy, and I eagerly anticipate my wings.
All is well in my world.
