"Words possess an extraordinary magic," Patrick Overton reminds us in The Leaning Tree. "They have the power to shape our perceptions, ignite our imagination, and build entire worlds of colours and wonders right before our very eyes."
A single phrase, a heartfelt sentence, or a poetic passage can be the key to unlocking new horizons within ourselves—transforming doubt into hope, fear into courage, and quiet thoughts into vibrant visions.
Below, I will share a passage from this beautiful poem that exemplifies how the right words can open doors to a universe of possibility, reminding us of the endless potential that resides within our own minds and hearts.

“When you walk to the edge of all the light you have and take that first step into the darkness of the unknown, you must believe that one of two things will happen:
There will be something solid for you to stand upon, or, you will be taught to fly.”
