“Come to the edge”, he said.
“We’re afraid”, they said.
“Come to the edge”, he said.
They came.
He pushed them… and they flew.
~ Guillaume Apollinaire
What is your Edge right now? What are you coming up against, being asked to overcome or deal with? Is it reconciling old conflicts? Stressing about money? Feeling constant aggravation with work? Going “over the edge” is not always a bad thing. On the other side of chronic issues lies the freedom, expansion, growth, and insight which very well may be our ticket to moving on. Finding our way to higher ground requires heading right into the very things we spend so much energy on trying to avoid by habits of over-eating, numbing out in front of the T.V., drinking too much… pick your pattern. Sit with the emotion of frustration or fear without batting it away. Immerse yourself in it. What happens in your body? What is it trying to communicate? Unless we can hear the message in the pattern, there’s no release. There’s no bypassing the lesson or the teaching when it’s coming straight from our own heart and soul. It might hurt a little or it might hurt a great deal, but in its wisdom you’ll find the key to your freedom; you’ll find your wings.
