Slippage


Slipping out of our comfort zones 
sometimes feels like
stepping on a banana peel 

landing hard
ego bruised with embarrassment,
taking a deep breath

wiping any stray tears away
(but there’s never any tears)
standing tall - or at least tallish -

peering into a new world.
We are, after all, resilient,
able to set one foot after the other

to find the intrigue and mystery
of exploring our own limits
finding a world more than we have ever known.

“A man grows most tired while standing still.”
~ A Chinese Proverb
