Walking that thin straight line of perfection, never stepping outside of what I can do well. Free from failure, and yet...
Not free.
In the deep recesses, the still small hopeful whisper - just let go.
Fall.
Free.
Step off the line, into the unknown. Dare to free fall, to fly, to release - it's okay if you admit your humanity, imperfection, need, desire.
No longer free from failure.
But perhaps more free?
It's a free fall of faith, courage, and hope. Letting go of the act of perfection, falling, perhaps even failing, perhaps even publicly, yes. But in that failure, finding freedom.
No longer on the tightrope.
Flying.

Letting go of perfection! How freeing that sounds. In a world that demands perfection every second, to let go and allow the humanity in... sounds like a breath of fresh air. Thanks for the great post! Glad I stopped in from FMF!

Oh, I needed this one today. I need to be free and to let go. That can be so very hard for me. Thank you for sharing.
