Transformation.

Paradigm Shift.

If I cease to be what I was,
What am I NOW?

What do I Want To Be?

If I open the Gates of Possibility, do I walk through them?
Or does the Flood emerge, engulf me and destroy all I once thought I knew?

I have gnawed off a bite too large to consume;
Ere I choke I must spit it out. Perhaps anon I could try eating the elephant, though in smaller bites.

Promises, contracts, shares and stakeholders.
And if options are beautiful, as some have said, then I have beauty before me...

but this kind of beauty is just short of terrifying.

Here yawns the Abyss.

What do I Want To Be?

This is a large question that not everyone answers to their satisfaction - ever. Don't be discouraged if the answer doesn't come to you immediately.

And heed the words of the aerobics teacher: "Don't forget to breathe."

Elephant casserole. In smaller bites, in a tasty sauce you create, as spicy or as mellow as you like.

I'm not alone

this kind of thinking has lead me to a personal (possibly universal) abyss many a time

I've thought about if I were to completely accept my personal perspective on reality in it's universiality and how that would change my reality - and there it yawns before me
~
I at long last decided that though the abyss is there that I do not acknowledge it as an abyss, but the essence of everything (OverWhelming!).

I let it be, and instead choose to actualize my life as I wish it to be. I could say that I decided to live on a rivelet of that abyss' waters so that I might taste of it, have it saturate my soils, fill me, and yet allow me to choose a limited perspective on it's whole to create the reality of my choosing.

May your abyss bring you light.

LOVE,
C

Sometimes the question to ask is "Would I always wonder about what could have been if I had taken that one step?" if you don't do it.
