“…There are moments on the brink, when you can give yourself to a lover, or not; give in to self-doubt, uncertainty, and admonishment, or not; dive into a different culture, or not; set sail for the unknown, or not; walk out onto a stage, or not. A moment only a few seconds long, when your future hangs in the balance, poised above a chasm. It is a crossroads. Resist then, and there is no returning to the known world. If you turn back, there is only what might have been. Above that invisible crossroads are inscribed the words: Give up your will, all who travel here…”

Wow…the resonance of that voice (was it Patrick Stewart?), the chills as I watch, and listen – realizing that no action is no alternative. To trust that should one circle the chasm and make the leap, no fall is permanent, no height too precipitous. Wow. Full stop
