Skip, Skip, Shuffle. Skip, Skip, Shuffle.
She hums a tune she used to know. And
with bated wishes she leaps into an abyss of stars.
And possibility. 1, 2, 3… Leap.
Thoughts eager,
Heart racing
Hopes high.
A million bits of colored stardust rise up to meet her, and she greets fable, myth and opportunity as she tumbles deeper. Her reality shifts, and she sees that her future is in here, in this beautiful swirl of light and potential. ‘What are you searching for?’ asks the Muse. ‘Something brave,’ she whispers, ‘Something new.’
For the briefest of moments, she feels unprepared. Naïve. Unsure. Foolish. Is she ready for this? Can she really take this journey? Then she remembers that she believes in magic. And in hopes fulfilled. And she smiles. She leans gleefully, spinning deeper into this trust, and she begins to hum once more – a song that sounds different this time around. Grander. Epic, even. The notes vibrate the space around her, and her new path begins to unfold beneath her feet. Leaving nothing to do but begin.
