Do You Fly When You Fall

Now that is an intriguing title.  And the answer is … I surely hope so.

After all, what is a fall but a chance to get back up and soar better, or fail better until you soar?

We could look at falling as flying lessons.  It is pretty evident that sooner or later we will fail at something.  We will fall off the wagon, or make a misstep or two that leads to some kind of fall.

And look at the possibilities we face on the way down.  We have this vast storehouse of what didn’t work, how it didn’t work, why it didn’t work and the seeds begin to grow, even on the way down, of what to do next time.

I hate flying lessons, but I love how much better I fly after them.
