Swing Again

How many swings will it take before you loosen the grip on the chain that holds your swing safely to the tree? How many swings before you start trusting it, trusting it won’t break?
Even if it breaks holding it tight won’t help you, you’ll fall anyways. Maybe it would hurt more then than if you would just let go and went with the fall.
You have been swinging all your life, you have learned to loosen the grip, but that’s not the only challenge you must face. You even let go every now and then, carefully though, with your hands close to the chain of life.
The final challenge however is still ahead of you: you will have to step down and let the others swing for a while, you’ve had your share.
Gather your courage, swing high into the sky and then let go, fly away, fly. Let the wind play with your hair, let it glaze your face, let it kiss you on the lips, let it caress your nipples, let it go low and lower, deep and deeper. Let it cool you down from the warm feeling it gave you.And then land on the soft turf and just lie there, enjoy the ecstasy let the feeling go out the door, smile and say goodbye.

I love your posts b/c I can link them to my life and it might be a totally different meaning then you had in mind but yet we agree!

I think it is the hardest to say "goodbye" and let others "swing" especially at times that you still want to be the one on the swing! But when you are board with the swing it is as if you don't care others are riding!!

it flateres me so much when someone interperets my posts differently than i do. it says to me that they can be understod broadly, and for me this is the point or else i don't think i would post. plus when you tell me what you see in them we can always discuss it and i get new points of wiew or even new ideas for new posts.

it is the hardest because we think that when we let go we will fall. we just don't allow ourself excepting the fact we could fly then, be independand of the swing, be free, fly as we never could, feel the wind as we never could

I think it is that fear of "falling" why I hang on so much.....

i think it's nore the fear of uncertainty: you don't know if you'll fly, or you'll fall, or you'll float. it could be any of it, but we will never know until we let go.
