It only takes one misstep to trip. One. And the next is usually a frantic overcompensation to reassert balance, followed by a third march that demands pride and refuses humiliation.
It only takes one misstep to slip. One. And the next usually involves shakier footing, followed by more compromise and vulnerability, during which agility and fight-or-flight are dampened.
It only takes one misstep. And yet, look at the chain reaction that happens in a flash. *PAUSE* for 30 seconds (hopefully more) and *THINK* of the millions of short link chains – sputtered out causes and effects – that combust from a single (mis)step.
These tiny occurrences set the pace and course of our day. Apply symbolism where it is due… one trip and you’ve fallen behind; one slip and you’ve lost your way.
