Consider life through the metaphor of being in a trapeze act.  As we move through the air with no safety net, we find our security whilst clinging to one trapeze or another.  This trapeze can be in the form of a relationship, a job, money, or even something abstract like a belief.  We are most at ease in our act if we keep one hand on the present trapeze until the other hand is firmly grasping the next trapeze. But sometimes we choose or are forced to release both hands before grasping the next trapeze.  We find ourselves without security, we find ourselves in mid air.  Sometimes we’re not just in mid air but in the midst of a triple somersault with no sight of the next trapeze.  That time between trapezes can be scary, but mid air is where the talent and creativity of the artist is revealed.  The freedom to spin, tumble and flip – to fly.  And like a trapeze artist, we too must embrace the freedom and exhilaration of the time between trapezes.  We too must embrace living in mid air.
