Know When to Walk Away

Maybe Kenny's right. When it comes to life's cards, you have to know when to hold 'em, know when to fold and walk away. From my experience, there aren't lightning bolts of confirmation or chastisement... just heavy-hearted hunches, out-of-the-blue thoughts, tiny inklings. Some call it intuition; some call it God.

I call it humble uncertainty.

I call it fear-and-trembling faith.

This week, I walked away from two things that have meant a great deal to me over the last few years. In doing so, it really feels as though I'm closing and shelving old books, opening blank pages to the haze of what's ahead. It serves reminding myself that I'm not just leaving beloved things and people. I'm approaching altogether new ones.
