I am on a plateau.
…
Flat ground.
There is both nothing,
and everything here.
I think I preferred it
when I was climbing a mountain,
or sliding down a valley.
At least then I knew
where I was supposed to be going–
Uphill,
downhill.
But flat ground—
I could do either nothing
or everything here.
Go right, go left
Forward, backward
Diagonally…
Jump up,
stoop down,
stay down.
It’s paralyzing,
it’s frenzying.
I am on a plateau.
Do I do nothing,
or everything? ◊

This entry is part of my undertaking a 30-day challenge Matt Cutts talked about at TED2011. The premise is to “think about something you’ve always wanted to add to your life and try it for the next 30 days.” I am challenging myself to post one blog entry a day for 30 consecutive days.
Today is Day 10.

Well spoken young lady…now just ask your heart. Nothing can come into your life until you let something go…both require change ❤ 😀
Does the universe cheat? Most certainly, otherwise we would take neither step, comfortable in our own misery 😀

True. I think I have waited for the universe to answer, when in reality, it is me who’s asked and challenged to answer.
As always, thank you for sharing your insight! 🙂
