The great bird does not think about thermals
The enormous wing span gliding through the sky
The updraft is known and trusted
There is no basis for speculation
No fear of failure for that which is so close - unexamined.
For those of us who have learned to fear
It is not the same.
The great updrafts of our lives
Almost always in the form of invitation.
