lenten journal: wings

These two lines greeted me in an email from a dear friend today:

Go to the edge of a cliff and jump off. Build your wings  on the way down. — Ray Bradbury

My first connection was to my favorite Guy Clark song, “The Cape” —

he’s one of those who knows that life is just a leap of faith close your eyes, hold your breath, and always trust your cape

I find deep comfort in both. Sing yourself to sleep, my friends.

Peace,
Milton
