Securing The Net

copyright 1976 by Tracy Marks


The intricate webs of activities and friendships which I have spun are nets of security which allow me to walk on my daily tightrope with a minimum of fear. The less confident I am, the more concerned I am with the reliability of the nets.

Yet I know at the same time that I will not gain confidence by securing the nets tightly or extending them over a wider area, but rather by perfecting my own balance.
