chronicle IV - crossing the first threshold

to the life that lost me

part of chronicle IV

 

To the life that lost me,

 

In that moment, I made a choice.

An opportunity presented itself,

and without hesitation, I took the leap.

 

The decision was not hard:

I didn't weigh everything up in the moment -

I already knew I didn't want the old life I had been living.

 

When the opportunity arose, I committed to it wholeheartedly.

Every part of my being was in motion.

 

My mind was extremely aware of my surroundings -

they roared around me.

Every detail of that moment is still so vivid.

 

I had never felt so much fear and so much excitement all at once.

 

In that moment, I risked everything.

What I was about to do was exceptionally dangerous,

and I didn't do it cautiously.

 

I did it boldly, visibly, and unapologetically.

 

I risked everything because the moment I saw the life I wanted,

I knew I had to move.

 

I jumped, and nothing could ever be the same again.

 

While I felt fear, I showed myself that fear was not going to stop me.

I had stepped to the edge and looked at the drop,

and I jumped anyway.

 

In that moment, I was suspended between the old life and the new life,

and I had no control of where I would land, or if I would ever land.

 

I did it with no certainty at all -

only the truth that I could not remain where I was.

have you ever felt something inside you ask you to cross into the unknown - trusting only the quiet faith pulling you forward?
