Here I am again,

Standing at the edge,

Staring into the abyss of the unknown.

Energy rushing through my body and feeling that uncomfortable feeling that I've called fear for most of my life and knowing that in taking one more step I will face a great change.

My body tenses,

Wanting to run,

To hide,

To disappear,

Feeling raw,

Feeling scared,

Feeling afraid.

Yet something in me chooses to face that which is terrifying me.

To become more naked,

More daring,

More exposed,

More brave,

More vulnerable than ever before.

And perhaps,

Like the fool,

Returning to the cliff yet again,

I take a breath and relax my body,

Trusting in something beyond the mind,

I take a tender step into the darkness,

Into my becoming,

Into a new me,

Into a new
