Once in a long while, something really significant steps onto our paths.
We can give it a cursory acknowledgement or a passing respectful nod. Why, we can even shed a tear to commemorate its presence.
But rarely do we let it soak in deeply enough to disentangle the fabric and tapestry of who we have come to be. Rarely do we allow ourselves to be so affected that the very essence of who we are evaporates, never to return.
Something really significant has stepped onto my path.
If I were truly genuine, if I held to my highest standard of integrity, I would allow it to embrace me.
But I fear.
I fear for the destruction of what I have begun to build for myself: a small castle of respectability.
I fear that if I allowed it to embrace me, I would be subsumed. I would become a tiny little particle of something so much greater than I could ever fathom.
I would cease to be.
Dare I let it embrace me?
Dare I not?
