Sky Above, Earth Below
Heights used to be frightening.
I feared falling & not being able to stand again.
I feared being disappointed in myself.
I did - I fell a few times...
always managing to brush myself off & try & try.
No, it wasn't fun but little by little did I defeat the fear -
Now I really like who I am.
Things become much more clear when you test & learn for yourself.
