A stumble may prevent a fall.

Unless you grab onto the anchor.

or stumble into an open elevator shaft

And the doctors said I was silly for wanting an extra appendage on my knees and back.

"We stumble and fall constantly even when we are most enlightened. But when we are in true spiritual darkness, we do not even know that we have fallen."

(Thomas Merton)




(though we stumble, we shall not fall headlong, for the Lord holds us by the hand.)
<< Psalms 36Psalm 37:24Psalms 38 >>








"When we stumble we recover quickly, so a stumble is just a reminder that we may fall. When we do fall, it is how we recover from the fall that shows the true spirit of the person we are."

My Grandfather.

I intern recover from my falls, with a true spirit not to fall that way again.

You start to fall and then you keep yourself from falling,
and then you start to fall again and then you keep yourself from
falling again.

It's called walking.

Laurie Anderson.

a stumble with a new hip replacement is murder

well being naturally clumsy...I have been rather lucky - haven't had either

No.
Murder would be when your nurse
just can't take anymore.
And you accidentally 'stumble'
into the attic.

and just what are you trying to say ?

You can't 'stumble' up :-)

wanna bet ?

Have you grown wings during your recovery?
We are going to need pictures.

I've always had wings

Good, 'cause I was hoping for one of
those bare baby-bum pictures.

Redbull gives you wings!

I'll see if I can dig one up

a bull with wings

Silly.
You wouldn't have buried it.
If you had wings as a kid you would flown
up to the tippy tops of trees and
hidden stuff there.
