Floating Along

Stumbled upon this while browsing Pinterest and fell in love with it, not just for the image but the words. As I read them, they struck me sharp, like an arrow through the heart, capturing exactly how I feel, the place I am at, in my life.

“I have come to accept the feeling of not knowing where I am going. And I have trained myself to love it. Because it is only when we are suspended in mid-air with no landing in sight, that we force our wings to unravel and alas begin our flight. And as we fly, we still may not know where we are going to. But the miracle is in the unfolding of the wings. You may not know where you're going, but you know that so long as you spread your wings, the winds will carry you.” ― C. JoyBell C.

These few lines describe my uneasy, precarious location so beautifully, that it got me thinking: Perhaps it is not so scary after all. Maybe its a lovely opportunity, a glorious flight, to just let the wind take me, unsure of where I'll settle. Maybe I just need to unfold my wings and enjoy the view.
