"The crate of comfort isn't as fragile as we may
think it is. If we take a step outside of that crate, we may feel as if all
will go wrong in our lives. That crate can be protective. But, it also can be a
smothering rope around our necks. Comfort is the reliability of the warm
blanket or familiarity of family and friends. Yet, sometimes you just want to
spread your wings and fly a bit. Not beyond the universe. But, maybe just
towards something different. I'm not saying you'll want to join up as an
astronaut or athletic team. Yet, we can expand our own levels of comfort onto a
new horizon. Our horizon shifts when we learn something new about any subject.
Be it a new word every day, learning a new language. Or, even learning how to
dance or cook. None of us were marked with the stamp of fragility when we were
born. First we had the womb. Then the cradle held us. Comfort can be a crutch,
when a little spark inside makes us want to toss our crutch into a ditch and
race with the wind of change that blows through our hair down the highway of
life. Place your crate in the closet and take a step outside of yourself. You
might just find that aroma of a sweet wind filling your nostrils and your
soul". - A.H. Scott 11/22/11
