(Woohoo! Double Ping!)
Before you fly
You learn to land.
Before you soar
you must be grounded.
You must be one
with the net…
How it acts, how you react
How you work together.
Can you abuse your net?
Can your net abuse you?
Inherent trust
The net flexes
It stretches
It returns to shape
Falling badly
bones broken and
dislocated
You don’t return to shape.
You must be part
of the net that
supports others.
How we give support
is how we get support.
The net work
must benefit all.
The net works
when we work together.
Work the net
let the net work.
I love your take on the prompt! Powerful piece!

This is beautiful and powerful. I feel like I’m reading this both in the context of trapeze and of life itself (of course, they are one in the same). Thank you for linking to my piece on the Safety Net. And I referenced the prompt and love the quote there from Sam Keen, who wrote a book about flying trapeze that I read 18 years ago when I first started my love affair with the art. Beautiful synchronicity.
