how close do we come to darkness?

how close do we come to darkness?
how near do we walk beside danger?
"even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil"

like a child, blissfully unaware of the mine field upon which he plays
like a youth, carelessly driving too fast on a dirt road, narrowly missing the cliff
we tip toe around it, blindly stumble through it, crawl beside it, untouched....

until it's time for the testing. the waiting. the moment of faith without sight, courage through fear, conviction tested over integrity.

what seems to be random chaos is orchestrated;
a deliberate dance within a hot bed of coals

and if we knew how close we were, would we stop living? be afraid? seal ourselves up...
would we be bold and fearless? because we already know the outcome?
it comes down to choices. made by faith. refined by fire.

will you join in?
