“…Build your wings on the way down. ” ~ Ray Bradbury
Gathering
The full quote is, “Jump off the cliff and build your wings on the way down.”
The way bees and birds and other flying things do.
We’re one of nature’s perfect creations, too.
Like the blooms and buds just beyond your window each Spring.
Blessings
We may be inside.
Inside, we may worry.
But we are brave.
We flourish, showy and bright.
Not caring who’s watching, wondering, warning.
We thrive.
Wings
Beyond our nervous moments, we fly.
We fall. We soar.
We let go.
And on the way down, we find our wings…
