I want you to take a moment and imagine with me. Close your eyes. Take a full breath.
You’re laying on your belly, head tilted to the side, arms outstretched overhead and enfolding you in a cold, hard bear hug is solid rock. You have just enough space to flex your feet, connect your toes to the rock and scoot yourself forward with the help of your clawing finger tips.
Then, as the space becomes tighter, you exhale the air from your lungs to give yourself a millimeter of space to move. The cave closes in, and yet you push forward. Because you know you are going someplace that 99% of the population wouldn’t dare.
This tight passage is the journey and you never know when or how that journey will end.
