The Ability to Fly

May 17, 2020

I’m on the edge, looking over to see how far I would fall.

Do I dare try?

If I jump will I fly or fall to my doom?

Anticipation builds within me. 

The decision must come soon to believe or to stay where I stand,

The wind calls to me, ‘Come into greatness.’

And 

I 

Leap

I fall, tumbling, thrashing, trying to gain myself before I reach the ground.

‘Do not be afraid.’ A voice calls, ‘Open your wings and fly.’

‘I believe.’ I whisper as my wings open and the wind pulls me up.

I test my wings, unsure of their use and purpose, but find with each beat a more proficient course.

It is not easy work as the wind only helps a little, but I continue to go higher.

I look down and see I have surpassed the cliff I stood on before,

Forever going farther than I ever dreamed.

I soar as the wind now aids my wings.

I look at the world around,

The horizon and open sky full of possibilities.

I can not return to the world I once knew for now I am changed.

I was meant to fly, to soar, but I needed the courage to try.

Now I am here and my heart is afire with this calling and desire.

To reach great heights we must first have the courage to fall.

Then we truly find when we risk it all,

That we have the ability to fly.

  3. I am loving The Adventure Shop! Fiction and fantasy is such a diverse genre, but many times, stories seem to follow similar paths. It can be difficult to find and to write something truly unique, but that is precisely what you have created with The Adventure Shop! Your characters are so relatable, and there are so many great details and descriptions woven throughout each post. I haven’t decided yet which character is my favorite, but once I do, they will certainly hold a spot tied with Greeney ☺️ I can’t wait for your next post!

  4. “One more time.” The way you spoke about that phrase reminded me of Hebrews 12:1-2.
    I’m so thankful for the example you are setting.

  5. I admire your willing vulnerability and how you have place fear into the open, showing it to be a sad little creature that can only torment when unacknowledged.
    I have not overcome fear of creating in a while, might be time to start seeing as I have a role model.

  15. I think putting yourself out there is one of the most terrifying things you can do, but it can be so rewarding! So I try to not think of the negative “what if’s” but rather the positive ones, you’ve got this!
