Michael is on his way to France! I got to talk to him on the phone today while he was at the airport, and also received a photo from a kind stranger who saw him in the airport. Michael is very excited to finally be heading to France, and it was so nice to talk to him. He sounds great!
I loved the poem he sent in his last blog update - it rhymes better in French, but the sentiment is still wonderful in English. Basically it says that we don't recognize our own potential, and only by leaving our comfort zone will we discover how amazing we truly are. For those who don't speak French, I thought you might like to read a translation.
"Come to the edge."
"We can't, we are afraid."
"Come to the edge."
"We can't, we will fall."
"Come to the edge."
And they came.
And he pushed them.
And they soared.
