No trumpets sound
when the important decisions
of our life are made.
Destiny is made known silently.
~Agnes de Mille
This poster has been in my office/classroom for the past six years. Today I began conversations that will take me into the next chapter of this life I am attempting to create.
My friend calls this the leaping onto the next lily pad process. Terrifying and yet exhilarating. And necessary, I think, to finding that life well-lived for oneself.
The artist never entirely knows.
We guess.
We may be wrong,
but
we take leap after leap
We guess.
We may be wrong,
but
we take leap after leap
in the dark.

Ooh, especially love that last one.
ReplyDeleteCan't stay on the same lily pad forever, I guess. That metaphor doesn't easily lend itself to larger ideas of travel, but the gist is there.
