two things

The front of the card says "Faith is believing that one of two things will happen,"
SHE SAID. "That there will be something solid For you to stand on
-- Or that you will be taught to fly."

My mind catches first on the sound of the words and how she said changes the rhythm changes the sentence. Changes the resonance. How SHE SAID is brilliant because She Said Makes this:

Faith is believing that one of two things will happen.
That there will be something solid for you to stand on
- Or that you will be taught to Fly.

Hallmark card into

This:

Faith is believing that on of two things will happen.
SHE SAID.
That there will be something solid to stand on -
Or that you will be taught to fly.

She said has that little roll of an up down wave with the water breaking on you will be taught to fly. I read it three, fours times listen to the sound of every word hitting the next. I'm a nerd like that.

I go to the meaning that faith is knowing you will be ok. And my mind takes it apart. Beleiving one of two things will happen. Something solid to stand or be taught to fly. Standing or Flying?

Ripped up that way I read a choice in it. Stand or Fly? For two days I pick the card off the bookshelf and read it as a question. Ask, ask, ask myself. Which one would I chose? The Ground or the Sky.

I look up to remember clouds know all the answers.
Like tea leaves and old gypsy women.
and I think, me, I'll take the sky.
