Reaching with Michelangelo and an Octopus Named Agnes

Hello and Happy Spiritual Journey Thursday! Today we are writing on the topic of "Reach," which is Donna's One Little Word. Be sure and visit Mainely Write to read everyone's responses!

When I think about "Reach," I think about getting out of my comfort zone. I think about trying new things, being willing to fail, s t r e t c h i n g.

Sometimes the hardest thing for me is reaching out to another person. I don't want to be rebuffed or rejected. It makes me think of Michelangelo's "Creation of Adam." What beauty there is in that breath between those two fingers! And what makes it beautiful to me is the anticipation of touch, the reaching, the beauty and openness of that moment-- before we know what happens next.

What if reaching is its own reward? How would my life expand if I let go of the whatever-comes-after, and just be in that moment of reaching? Truly, I want to live in that space between the fingers, where what comes before or after doesn't matter.

Dear friends, today I will try.

Also, I wanted to share a poem that comes to mind -- one I shared in a post on this blog way back in 2005!
