Leap of faith

‘Leap, and the net will appear.’ ~Julia Cameron

Am I the last person on the planet to read Julia Cameron’s The Artist’s Way? It seems everyone I know is talking about this beloved classic that encourages daily journaling to cultivate the flow of creativity.

The Artist’s Way opens with this idea: ‘Leap, and the net will appear.’ This speaks to me right now. Change is all around me…in my life, in my husband’s life, and the lives of our families. Much of this change is exciting and full of new possibilities. Some of it feels crappy and scary. But that’s the nature of change.

One of the changes I’m facing requires a real leap of faith into the unknown. I can’t plan everything in advance, and I can’t control every detail. Believe me, I’ve tried. I have a burning desire to move forward…it feels like life itself. It feels like growth and evolution and self-expression.

And yet sometimes I’m stuck in fear and the compulsion to hang on to the old. To stick with what I know and what feels safe.

It’s icky. And uncomfortable.

But I’m going to jump. I’m going to take a deep breath and take the biggest leap that I can. I’m going to trust that what appears beneath me will be exactly what I need. I’ll let you know how it works out.
