Gazing into the Dark

I stand in the dark. Gazing out into who knows what. I don’t.

It’s dark anyway but I close my eyes.

Now I feel a warmth- an inviting invitation invites me.

“Step forward”

There could be anything there…

A cliff.

The edge of a cliff.

The thing that comes after the edge of a cliff.

A solid wall, if you’re at the bottom…

A sudden fall, if you’re at the top…

Or maybe nothing.

But even though I do not know,

There’s a beauty, there’s a joy, there’s a deep deep peace that calls

That waits for me to take the step

Because I don’t know what’s ahead

Because I don’t know

I can trust

If I knew, I could not

Trust is beautiful, it is joyful, there is peace

And trust is only possible when I let go of knowing

Trust is only possible when we let go of knowing
