Moving from caution to courage....
How do I move from caution to courage?
Life in suburbia U.S.A. is clinical, sterile, cautious, carefully planned.
Grass grows in neat lawns, trimmed regularly
Gardens bloom in carefully placed plots, fences in place, with only one gate
Cars sleep in measured out stalls where garage doors close
Socks in the sock drawer,
Spoons washed and neatly tucked into silver wear bins,
Labeled water bottles, labeled coffee mugs, labeled junk drawers,
Labels and categories,
Lids and containers,
Plans and calendars,
Inboxes and mailboxes and donation boxes and school paper boxes
Life tucked into twenty hour increments.
This kind of living leads to caution.
Where comes the courage for living when everything is so carefully, cautiously arranged?
