Balanced

July 4, 2019 at 9:27 am (Poems) (balance, fear, high wire, life lessons)

I

try to take a balanced view of life

for the sake of my health and equanimity.

A documentary film about

Phillipe Petit, who high wired

between New York Twin Towers

on 7th August 1974

taught me that sickening fear,

rather than external physical danger,

is the greater killer.
