Emmy's Quote

I'm sitting in the Atlanta airport, waiting for the flight. Eating Susannah's spicy pretzels, needing a Diet Coke, wishing you could open Duty Free at the airport. In our last chance for 3G, we're all charging our phones and checking our email. The nervous energy is palpable. I got a comment on my status about insomnia that, on a friend's wall, the following quote appeared below my status.

"Come to the edge, he said.
They said, We are afraid.
Come to the edge, he said.
They came.
He pushed them...
and they flew."

- Guillaume Apollinaire

Thanks, Emmy. It choked me up but it also made me sit taller.
