I have experienced the joy of jumping in without self-consciousness and rising to my own and others’ expectations. ~ For Today (Kindle Location 2703)
Standing on the sidelines is safe,
protected, unobtrusive... disappointing.
Jumping in is fearsome, intimidating,
terrifying, unnerving... exhilarating.
Memoirs don't exalt wallflowering,
a toe in the water makes no memories.
I have talents I never dreamed of
and a Power directing my life
fully aware I'd sell myself short
given the chance, not propelled
to real life.
