Do Not Be Afraid to Fall

​

I have encountered unexpected thunder, lightning, and sudden downpours. By now, anxiety and fear are embedded in my blood. Instead of despairing, I endure by visualizing the cool breeze after the storm, and the rainbow and clear skies after the thunder and rain. A life that never flows according to predictions or plans. I have legs that constantly trip and fall. Although I fear falling and breaking, I must learn how not to be afraid. After all, the path I am walking will surely turn out to be a feel-good adventure story.
