Nothing big ever happens, good or bad, unless the floor falls out first.Let your longing wind you down through that spiral. And know that falling can be the most wickedly awesome and totally safe thing youve ever done. Down, down, down, because when you hit that solid ground youll know.You might touch down softly, or you might land in an ungraceful thud. But land you will and when youre ready, you can stretch your shaky legs, dust yourself off tossing your head back to the heavens and proclaim Here I am! All that I am, and all that I will be.And your heart will still love what it loves. And you will remember that was good in you, and in her. And these memories will comfort and will serve you as you move through life, open to love wherever and whenever it finds you.
