Fear of Falling

The greatest glory in living lies not in never falling, but in rising every time we fall. – Nelson Mandela

When flying, be sure to wear high-visibility gear.

2015, I wrote

You can’t fall

if you don’t climb.

But there’s no real joy

in living your whole life

stuck to the ground.

Try flying.

It’s not whether you get knocked down, it’s whether you get back up.- Vince Lombardi 

2025, older now.

I could

more easily fly today

than run.

And what is falling,

if not flight?

Try not falling.
