thoughts on risk taking

Today taking risks is on my mind.

It basically comes down to,

what do we really

have to lose?

The trip was wonderful.

Home is good too.

Also go HERE for a

lovely free poetry download.

fear and the audacity of caring

Last night I had a small

fear related freak out.

But last night is over.

*

This morning

I am determined to feel better

and ready to go take on whatever

gets in my way.

I will not not do something

or not care about something

just because it might not work out.

*

That would be plain silly.

Instead I will work on

and work with the good

that is already around me.

And I will work

to create more of what I want.

***

And I will be brave enough to

care about every last bit of it.

risk

The only way to find true happiness

is to risk being completely cut open.

(Chuck Palahniuk)
