What Are You Afraid Of?

STAYSEA

"What are you afraid of?
That you won't have enough
money?
Or enough food?
Are you afraid you're going
to die?
Or that you won't live?
Are you afraid you are
going to fall?
And you won't get back up again?
Maybe you are afraid of
everything, then?

(of falling)

But I told you what to do
Bend your knees. It's not a tightrope. It's a slack line

I have never forgotten.:

Embrace the stranger shaking. It's not the rope. It is you."

-Mylene Dressler-


I wish it made more sense to me.
