College Ruled

I doubt. All the time I doubt, there is so little conviction. It's too easy to take a step back, get in line, march on. Today I reached the end of the notebook in which I work, write lists, brainstorm words, and in the back was scribbled:

Don't make a backup plan.
Have nowhere to fall.
Nothing to catch you.

If the landing is soft,
you will fall.
If the abyss is deep

and dark
and impossible

You will leap.

Our greatest enemy is fear.
Our greatest motivator, too.
