"If you fall, fall on your back. 

If you can look up, you can get up." 
~ Les Brown
 

If we fall? 

From the time we pulled ourselves up from a crawl, when we took our first steps, and when we started to run, we fell, often. Sometimes we laughed about it; sometimes we cried. Either way, we got up, we tried again, and we did what we set out to do.  

Throughout life, we fall in different ways. And from all our fallen places, we can look up - and look within, too. We can gain wisdom, grow in compassion, be strengthened, and lift ourselves. Quite often, after falls, we reach higher. Often, we succeed. 

Let's not be afraid of falls. Or of failures and doubts. They're all part of our rich experience of learning and growing. Of life. 

Life. Let's embrace all of it.

With faith, hope, and love,
