Slippery Banana Peel
by Odin Roark
It's ok to run and lose your wind.
It's expected that your body stays behind your mind.
It ‘s okay to slow down too.
Slippery Banana Peel
Who said it would be smooth?
Who said the path could be seen?
Who said that, huh?
Slippery Banana Peel
Every victory,
Every failure,
Every attempt,
It's okay.
Slippery Banana Peel
Just beware,
The light is sometimes very dark,
Watch for the light that might blind you,
Watch out for the easy way.
That's right,
There’s always the unexpected
Waiting to see
If we can land on our feet.

Thanks, Odin.

There is little we can do except hope that we still have some semblance of composure left when we land... Failing that, take a sweeping bow to our raucous audience and move on. Rx
