The Parable of the Trapeze is a story written by Danaan Parry from his book Warriors of the Heart: Sometimes I feel that my life is a series of trapeze swings. Im either hanging on to a trapeze bar swinging along or, for a few moments in my life, Im hurtling across space in between trapeze bars. I spend most of the time hanging on for dear life to my trapeze-bar-of-the-moment. It carries me along at a certain steady rate of swing and I have the feeling that Im in control of my life. I know most of the right questions and even some of the right answers. But once in a while, as Im merrily (or not so merrily) swinging along, I look ahead of me into the distance, and what do I see? I see another trapeze bar swinging toward me. Its empty, and I know, in that place that knows, that this new trapeze bar has my name on it. It is my next step, my growth; my aliveness coming to get me. In my heart-of-hearts I know that for me to grow, I must release my grip on the present, well-known bar to move to the new one.
