“…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…”

David. Te trick is to be aware enough to recognize those critical moments. Great post.

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
Yeah, wish they had credited the voice talent. Seems I should know who that was…
