Water's Edge

I think there comes a time when all things being the same that a change must occur.

The question is how? Do events push or force the change or do we facilitate the change voluntarily? And so in doing so do we reap the rewards of an outcome more in line with our perception? When the course of events lead to the same outcome as the times before then it is within our duty to progressively alter this thus giving us the desired result. At some point however, we must hit a threshold, we must cross our Rubicon in order to make it so. Thought alone is not always enough. We cannot settle on the banks peering to the other shore. We must engage the opposition head strong and knowing full well the risks of our decisions. There is that invisible line that we must cross. Sometimes that too is not enough. Sometimes we have to burn our ships upon landing so as no retreat is available. This ensures the finality of the decision.

I too have come near the water's edge. I have yet to cross the distant sea. When I do, do I burn my ship or return to fetch supplies? A 1300 year old lesson is not lost upon me. Much to think about I have or perhaps the outcome has already been decided?
