Maybe we are not flying on a trapeze, but perhaps we are on a spiritual journey that is taking us to new places, new understandings, new horizons. We might be invited to move out of our comfort zones or, perhaps, enter into a new reality beyond our imagining. I believe we have these sorts of tug-of-war times in our lives when deeper trust is being asked of us, and we take that leap of faith … we let go … and what a ride it is! © 2012 Barbara McMullen, CDP.
