Your departure into the next season of life will be like
a hot air balloon ride. The last blast of heat from the
burner has filled the canopy. The balloon is filled and
ready floating just a few feet above the earth. Nothing
else needs to take place except releasing the lines that
tether you to this time and place.
As the anchor lines tug and strain against the balloon’s
basket the observers below are waiting for you to toss
off the lines and start your climb. But you don’t do
anything. The other balloons nearby are beginning to rise
high above you. You can hear the passenger’s shouts of
joy as their elevation increases. Those below you at the
other end of the earthbound tether lines are yelling,
“Let go – take the ride!”
Familiar feelings of fear and dread begin to rise up
within you, but in a courageous move you reach out and
undo the anchor lines of expectation, fear and regret.
Slowly you begin to rise. All of a sudden everything
that caused you to be bound to the earth by other
people’s expectations, your personal fear of failure and
regret over past failures begins to fade away as you
rise. You watch as the disconnected tether lines fall
slowly back to earth coiling on the ground like defanged
snakes. You have now risen to an altitude where your
perspective has radically changed and you begin to wonder
why you were ever afraid of taking this ride in the first
place. As you look out and begin to enjoy this newfound
vista the winds of the Spirit begin to push against your
balloon taking you to places you never dreamed possible.
