I Wouldn't Have Settled for Anything Less

Tight-rope walking

can become routine

if you practice every day.

There is comfort in

the familiar movements,

the wind on your face

the view.

The perfect balance

and the walk

from point A

to point B.

You see the whole picture

and you are grateful

for that moment

of complete stillness

when nothing is happening.

It is OK to

look back

and enjoy the memories.

Try not to think too much

about the future.

Spread your arms wide

and be completely still.

The beauty of repetition.

The same jokes,

still funny after all those years,

the crazy belief

that nothing will ever change.

Call us lucky,

but I wouldn't have settled

for anything less.
