Untied States of Grace

A friend on my extended sojourn abroad; "You know, you could fail miserably, falling higher than you ever imagined, coming back as a broken man."

My reply, without hesitation: "I'm strangely comfortable with it."

Are you really?

Do you truly appreciate the gravity of a broken spirit?

It pains me to think that you are alright with such a thing...

I think it would break me more never knowing if I could have succeeded.

Sometimes you have to try because regret is one of the hardest things in the world to live with. I would rather come back broken than live never knowing. That's just my opinion anyway. Heh.

Plus. You have help. :-)
