standing on a very thin fence

A person has to get out of his head, has to fall in love, has to memorize poems, has to jump off bridges into rivers, has to stand in an empty desert and whisper... Every person has to leave, has to change like the seasons; they have to or they will die. It might be time for you to go. It might be time to change, to shine out. Leave.

-Donald Miller from "Through Painted Deserts"
