how do we all know when to jump together? how do we not get so into the momentum that we trample like a stamped anyone who might not be ready?
jumping, a big jump, together, is a messy affair.
i'd like to think that i'm somehow collectively building a bridge, so the leap isn't so hard,
i imagine a herd of buffalo on the side of a crevasse, being urged to leap. if there were a fire or predator, they would leap. but would they get it, if it was only the promise of better land and a happier life, just beyond the ridge? good thing i'm trying to herd smart capable people and not buffalo.
and the promise of the better land, is it just a feeling i've got? i feel as if i've never been more sure about something, except maybe, i was pretty sure about buying the house in portland. I'm pretty sure about bike culture in the US. I feel positive that bike farm should take this leap. I am positive that this space is a good deal.
but i guess the thing i'm worried about is how hard this is going to be, who we might loose, and how long until it starts to feel really good. The house took four years to start to make sense and not be one of the biggest stresses in my life. Looking back at it now, i feel like sure, it was a good decision. i remember saying three years ago that i just wanted to walk away.
anyhow, i've gone over the minutia of details, the spread sheets, and the step by step check list.
it's time to just push forward and leap.
