Even the most accomplished tightrope walkers practice new manoeuvrings close to the ground. They only get up on the high wire when they are comfortable with the steps they have to take. I now feel up in the air, wishing that I didn't have quite so far to fall.

It is funny when I think about it, I should though be very experienced in the exercise. It would be easy if I wasn't so aware of the consequences of making a wrong move.

I try to push this to the back of my mind. Walk on with confidence and not let the circus of life make me feel I am in any danger - I just need to get the hang of this new challenge and I will be fine with it.
