And so we have decided: made our choice, taken our leap, decided, some way, somehow, to find faith and hang onto it for dear life when the ground falls away beneath our feet.

And the ground has fallen away.

Other things are rising in its place.

But this was neither swan dive nor cannonball: This was a tentative and terrified teetering at the edge, breath held and eyes shut; this was a stretch to the furthest tips of our fingers and then beyond; this was a reach that not only exceeds our grasp but fills our hands with nothing but air.

We’re flying now.
