half-nAAked alter ego

I took this picture of Boots trying out his new kitty window/door right after we installed it. When I viewed the photos later, I was struck by the fact that he is half inside and half outside, and how that seemed to mirror where I had been for the past year in my attempts at sobriety. I wanted to "try it out," but not to make a full commitment. I was stuck on the inside of a prison of my own making, but too fearful of what lay beyond, outside of my alcoholic comfort zone, to go all the way through the door.


Now, I've finally found the courage to step through the door, but I'm still cautious, just standing on the ledge and surveying the landscape, getting my bearings, making sure that when I jump, I'll land on my feet.
