on every journey into the unknown, i reach a point after which there can be no turning back. sometimes i like to race past it as quickly as i can.. and other times, well, i hover on the brink, savoring the tantalising sense of a bridge between two worlds. i can fool myself into thinking that i'm safe because, if i want to, i can pull back. yet, deep down, i know i stand no chance of doing such a thing. this past week has brought me to just such a place. i could travel at any speed i like.. but i know that soon i'll arrive somewhere very new and interesting.
