from my tree bridge
ever notice about holding on
that you're less secure
less sure-footed
when you hold on.
by yourself,
on your own
foot in front of foot
you're almost there,
just walking.
once the thought comes in -
"hold on"
then,
a little doubt enters,
a little shakey-ness.
so just walk,
foot after foot
no reach out
there you are,
no doubt
