It's been a long time comin...

Such a long overdue blog post. People were wondering where did I disappear to?

The truth is, I ran away to my own private heaven and hell. Life continues to throw things at me. Sometimes I run away, sometimes I duck, sprint, sometimes I catch hold of these things, but sometimes I get hit.

And I fall, like one slips on ice. There is no scope to prepare for the fall. It just happens in a fraction of a second. You sit on the ground and think "Do I hurt?". Then you think "fortunately not too badly". (hopefully:)

What you do next is what speaks volumes about you. Some pretend like it never happened. Some immediately look around to see if anyone watched them fall, some fumble all over themselves.

What if we could all just laugh. Despite the incredible pain. What if we could just accept that we have made a fool of ourselves and say "Hey I provided you with an entertaining moment today and my life feels worthwhile because of it"

We would smile, gather ourselves together, pick up the pieces and walk wisely.
