It don’t come easy!
Well, it didn’t….not for me. I’d come to a stage in my life when things were pretty much black and white. There were things I could do and things I could not. This was very much in the area of ‘could not’. It took me a while to realise that it was more a case of ‘would not’! Like it took me a while to take more than a few steps into this wonderful new world and then hurry back into the safety of the known and familiar.
Then it started. Slowly, a growing confidence. The first few steps, then a few more. Ahhhh…this was good. It was a voyage of discovery. With each new day, I felt I could cope a little bit better. And then it hit me! There was so much in this great big world before me, one lifetime just wasn’t enough…I’d probably need many more. Would that I were a cat…but maybe even nine lives wouldn’t be enough. And the fact that it wasn’t a static world but one that was growing every day, much like our universe, filled me with awe.
But for now, enough that I was in. That I was one of the privileged ones. That I could just switch on my computer and fly away into the wild blue yonder of the www on the great Google getaway magic carpet!
