  • today is the tomorrow we worried about yesterday

Fly

Holding on to something that has already let me go.

Palms aching from holding on so very tight.

One finger is releasing itself and slowly day by day the other nine will follow.

The anticipation of the fly when all ten are free and I fly

Freedom of mind and heart.

Fear

Fear of the flying alone and where the landing will leave me.

But the strenght is in the letting go.

I feel my strenght growing

The faith is in the safely of the landing

Yesterday was a lesson in love

Today is a lesson in faith and fear

Tomorrow promises the fly

I am ready now.

When power leads man towards arrogance, poetry reminds him of his limitations. When power narrows the area of man's concern, poetry reminds him of the richness and diversity of existence. When power corrupts, poetry cleanses.

John F. Kennedy (1917-1963) Thirty-fifth President of the USA
