A Path Through . . .

(Found here ) It can be too careful, a ledge-balancing tiny slide of the foot over slick surfaces. When it finally happens,           it should be more like a hurdle                     into sudden air off a cliff faced with           ragged signs of the earth’s upheaval, or the rushed snatch of a demon ferris wheel that refuses to secure you           with belt or rail                     and seizes you up in its mechanical hands to whisk you           higher,                     higher. ~Jill Peláez Baumgaertner
