Something is happening that I can’t quite explain. It’s like that black diamond feeling when I’m skiing and I’m a bit out of control – frightening and yet exhilarating. That rushing sensation, the wind whipping my face. Worried that I might just crash, a tangle of limbs and metal. I can feel the ice under my skis, lurking just underneath the powder. I can hear the scraping sound. Side to side, faster and faster. I wonder
I wonder if I can stop.
I think maybe I don’t want to.
I’ve been doing new things this past year and I want to tell you. I’ve been starting other things, too -- in real life and in my head. I have been taking risks. And I have been failing. I have been failing often. But I’ve been trying again, once, twice, three times. I have been succeeding, I think, almost. Maybe not.
I’m in a place that I don’t know. I’m at the edge.
Maybe you're standing out there with me, too?
