Whenever I'm afraid, I think of Guillaume Apollinaire
who wrote:
Merlin motioned, "Come to the edge."
But they held back and said, "It's dangerous."
He beckoned, "Come to the edge."
And they said, "We may fall."
Then he commanded, "Come to the edge!"
So, they went to the edge and he pushed them...
And they flew.
Well, that's just about how I am feeling right now.
I don't know where I am going just yet, but I am at the edge,
trying something new. Maybe I'll fall. But then, maybe I'll fly.
I won't know until I try. The only difference is that I don't
have a Merlin to push me, I'm pushing myself.

- i wrote some books and gave away library. i like to think that every poem is a love poem. i believe that "No" is a full sentence. i used to collect old books and young cats. i don't like noisy people, places or things. my three favourite words: yes, please, thank you. my favourite punctuation mark is the colon: i have a beautiful cat, a bicycle, an old typewriter, and a ladle. these things make me happy.
