Living

is a form

of not being

sure,

of not knowing

what next or how.

The artist never

entirely knows.

She/He guesses.

And,

may be

wrong.

One leaps

in the dark.

Agnes deMille’s thoughts

suggest

that we think

about ourselves

as “artists,”

creating our lives,

not being

afraid

to take risks.

We may not be

painters

or poets

or dancers,

but we are the

authors-creators-

of our own lives.

Leaps in the dark-

risks-

must sometimes

be taken.
