Recall, I’ve written about the transition period – the one where you are a trapeze artist and you are letting go of the bar you know and grabbing the one you don’t – and all of life is letting go or grabbing hold of – but the suspension is when most creative thought happens or most growth takes place.

I totally get it. I get it (read: she says jumping up and down). Again I get it, I might add.

I’ve pushed through some layers here or some scales have fallen from my eyes in the past few days – I say this because I was hung up – stuck for a short period of time – even though this time, without forcing it (because I was higher around on the spiral), I told myself to have faith that it would all work out as it was supposed to instead of trying to push a conclusion that was unnatural – and despite having longed for another outcome, the one that happened turns out to have been the best one for me because it left me open and in that transitional place, I saw details about my vision that I hadn’t considered, and the territory of my dreams enlarged and seemed more vast, and I realized yet again, as I have been accused of before – I was dreaming too small, I was boxing myself in, and I was not recognizing my own potential.

Great Leon Russell song by the way – Tightrope

I’m up on the tightwire

one side’s ice and one is fire

it’s a circus game with you and me

I’m up on the tightrope

one side’s hate and one is hope

but the tophat on my head is all you see

And the wire seems to be

the only place for me

a comedy of errors

and I’m falling

**Chorus**

Like a rubber-neck giraffe

you look into my past

well maybe you’re just to blind to – see

I’m up in the spotlight

ohh does it feel right

ohh the altitude

seems to get to me

 

I’m up on the tightwire

flanked by life and the funeral pyre

putting on a show

for you to see
