Daring to Fall

“Come to the edge.”
“We can't. We're afraid.”
“Come to the edge.”
“We can't. We will fall!”
“Come to the edge.” 
 And they came.
 And he pushed them. 
 And they flew.
 ~ Guillaume Apollinaire,   1880-1918



Courage is not the absence of fear, but rather the judgement that something else is more important than fear.  

~Ambrose Redmoon


Only those who will risk going too far can possibly find out how far one can go.    
~ T. S. Eliot

I'm so glad I can be an encouragement.:)

I tend to be afraid of a great many things myself. Isn't it kind of the Lord to not let us stay scaredy-cats? Even when it feels like He's given us too much to handle, He hasn't. He even gives us the strength for our tasks as we need it. :)
